About the PTA

PTA This is about parents and staff coming together to actively support the Drayton Park School community. It’s about getting to know each other so there’s always a friendly face in the playground, and working together for the benefit of the children. Teams of parents organise fundraising and social events, such as jumble sales, car boot sales, cake sales, quiz nights, sponsored events and our very successful annual Summer Fair. Money raised at such events pays for music bursaries, soccer training, the coach for the Year 6 school journey, theatre and storytelling events, as well as buying extra resources and equipment that would not otherwise be available. Parents run playground gardening sessions, an organic vegetable scheme, and write a parents’ newsletter. PTA meetings, open to all parents and staff, are held about three times per term; look out for dates in newsletters and on posters. New volunteers are always very welcome – and you can bring your children with you.
