What?

We organise events and activities to raise extra money for the school. The Duke of Norfolk PTA is a registered charity.

Why?

To provide those additional resources that schools are now finding it very difficult to fund, and to enrich provision for all children. Our current focus is to raise money for an outdoor classroom which could be used for a variety of curricular and extra- curricular activities. In addition to this main target, funds raised have contributed to library books, classroom and forest school materials, leavers gifts and many other small but important things.

Where and When?

The committee meets monthly over Zoom with the occasional in person meeting.

How?

Together we discuss ideas for social and fund-raising events for children, parents/carers, and friends. This work is shared out and we all get 'stuck in'. Everyone's help is appreciated and ideas are welcome, there are many ways to get involved, no matter how much time you may be able to contribute.
