ST BARTHOLOMEW’S PARENTS’ ASSOCIATION
St Bartholomew’s School Parents’ Association (PA) welcomes you to our school. All parents are members of the Association and we welcome your feedback and ideas at any of our meetings and events; these are published in the school calendar.
What do we do?
The PA organises a variety of events to engage with students, parents and school. We have two committee meeting each term, to which all parents are welcome. Alongside the committee business we have a Parents’ Forum Discussion on topics such as Reading, the PDP programme and Communication.
The PA also raises money for the school and to strengthen our school community. Our events involve not only students and their families, but also the Leadership Team, Teaching Staff, Support Staff and Governors. We organise a regular Christmas Craft Fair, Quiz Night, and much more. We also run a second-hand uniform shop on Fridays in term time (2:45-3:30pm).
Each year, we invite all departments and clubs in the school to make a bid for the PA funds raised that year. Last year, this was just over £6,600. Amongst other thing, we have most recently given money to:
- House Rewards, trips, lessons and workshops
- A cricket bowling machine
- Video cameras for CineClub
- An embroidery machine for Textiles
- Manga club
- Dungeons & Dragons club
- Resources for Food
- Resources for the library
How can you help?
Being part of the PA is extremely rewarding and there are several levels of involvement.
- Join the Committee to help plan events and allocate funds, meet other parents and gain a further insight into the school.
- Help at one of our events.
- Attend our events with family and friends.
- Match Funding. Please do make it known to the PA if you can apply for match funding via your employer. This can make a massive difference to the support we can offer the school to enhance the education of our children.
We can be contacted by email at stbartspa@gmail.com
Dates for all PA events will be found in BartholoNews (the school newsletter), the term calendar on the school website, and on our Facebook page (St Bart’s PA).
