P.T.A.
What is Gorse Ride Schools P.T.A?
Gorse Ride Schools P.T.A. is a charity run by a committee of volunteers made up of parents and staff, who work together to raise much needed funds for the schools. If you are a parent/carer of a child at the school, or you work for the school, you are automatically a member of the P.T.A.
How does it work?
The P.T.A. organises fun fundraising events for the pupils and parents. Last year’s events included:
-
Christmas & Summer Fayres
-
Infant & Junior School Discos
-
Quiz Night
-
French Breakfast
-
Coin Wars
-
Sponsored Bounce
-
Second-hand Uniform Sales
-
Second-hand Book Sale
What is the money used for?
Recently the P.T.A. has donated money to the schools to fund items and projects, such as:
-
Year 1 new outdoor classroom
-
New playground toys for the Infant & Junior Schools
-
Class cameras for the Junior School
-
New Wi-fi system for the Infant School
-
60 class iPads
-
Year 3 & 4 classroom refurbishment
Each year the P.T.A. also donates money for many smaller requests from the school.
