Awbridge Primary School PTA
About
The PTA raise thousands of pounds each year through organising various activities and events for both the children and adults. From Summer Fetes, Christmas fayres, school discos and movie nights through to simple playground cake sales.
The money raised is used to provide extras for the children such as equipment and resources which would not otherwise be available within the school budget, to enhance our children’s education and enjoyment of school.
In recent years this has included funding Ipads and Chromebooks for use throughout each year group, funding the purchase of various resources for science and history, outdoor play equipment, creating an eco garden around our pond, providing money for new books and sports training, our MUGA (which enables us to continue with outdoor PE lessons in the winter months) our mile a day track which is hugely popular with the children and encourages year round fitness and most recently, AV equipment for our school hall, which allows for much better sound during assemblies and productions to name but a few.
If you would like some more information about our PTA, please call or email the School Office where we will answer any questions and put you in touch with other members.

Get your colouring pencils ready! The PTA is hosting a fun Easter Colouring Competition, and we’d love for all our budding artists to take part. The children will be bringing home a sheet of choice. Simply colour it in and return it to school by Tuesday 1st April, for a chance to win a delicious Easter Egg! (please see below for an example). Every child who enters will receive a small treat for their effort. Let’s get creative; we can't wait to see their wonderful creations! 🐰🌸
