  • Why do we need the PTA?

    The Wessex Primary School PTA (Parent Teachers Association) exists to raise money for the school's "little extras".

    In the recent past PTA-raised money has funded:

    • New Outdoor Lodge Classroom "Treetops"
    • The Playground Fort
    • Artist visits to school
    • Pantomimes
    • Class Christmas gifts
    • School trips
    • PE equipment
    • Football kit for school team
    • Ice lollies at sports day
    • Visualisers for use in classrooms (sophisticated projectors)
    • Garden improvements and play equipment in the nursery
    • Part of the Playground Makeover project
    • A fully equipped kitchen in Lower School
    • Golden time games / activities for all year groups
    • Subsidise Year 6 Leavers Party & activities
    • Traversing wall

    Every parent/guardian of a pupil is automatically a member of the PTA. There is also a PTA Committee which organises and runs events. Any parent/guardian/teacher can join the Committee.

    The Wessex Primary School PTA is a registered charity – charity number 1041997.
