Let’s be Friends again! PTA kicks off new school year.

Welcome back to school! Thanks to everyone who was able to attend our Annual General Meeting and Social. It was lovely to meet new parents and share plans and suggestions for events and fundraising this year (and enjoy homemade carrot cake!) We also voted in our management committee and new trustees. Here are the results:

Co-Chairs: Alice Taylor & Merlin Jones
Secretary: Anu Anand
Treasurer: Vicky Hill
Grant Writer: Ellen Kythor
Trustees: Jayne Rochford-Smith & Ellen Kythor join existing trustees Chaya Tagore, Rowan Edwards and Alice Taylor

It was invaluable to have Mrs Jayne, our headteacher, at the meeting to explain that schools only have money for the essentials: staff and running the school. Everything else – trips, equipment, transport, festivals, parties, techIS EXTRA! Friends PTA exists to ensure that all your children enjoy the wonderful extras that make school enriching and memorable.

Please help us help school! 

We are very excited about plans for this year, including fundraising for playground equipment, multi-lingual books, dedicated iPads for each class and new cameras for teachers to document trips and activities. If you’d like to join the Friends PTA Events WhatsApp group (very much a ‘dip-in-and-out’ group), please email Friends: friendsstandrewsbath@gmail.com

We’ll be sharing more details (Covid-allowing) for potluck suppers, Christmas parties, volunteer opportunities and simple fundraising you can participate in. No contribution is too big or small. We welcome all parents and carers: anything you can offer will be gratefully received and we love to have fun!

Watch this space….
