How can you help?

Many are not aware that as parents and carers of a child attending the school, you automatically become a member of the PTA. We have our committee members who will take on the main responsibilities of the PTA but we always welcome you to attend meetings to voice your concerns or opinions. We really do appreciate any help you and any extended family members can contribute towards making our events a success.

How do we raise the money?

We run events throughout the year including our summer fayre, special person sales and school discos. There are also some companies we work alongside to raise money via cash back schemes. Please see our 'Ways to Help' tab for more information on how both you and the PTA can benefit from these great offers.

Ways to Help

 

Your time

We appreciate that everyone is very busy with other commitments and there never seems to be enough time! However, if you want to help the PTA with one of their many fundraising events and efforts the best contribution will always be your time. This could be by taking a few minutes to chat with us about your ideas or helping out at one of our events. We always need more volunteers to help organise and run the events to ensure they meet health and safety regulations and are fun for the children and families attending.

Where possible, please join us at our monthly PTA meetings. Even if you can't attend them all, we would greatly welcome you to any you can attend. These meetings are a great opportunity for you to get involved and to make suggestions, so that we as a school community can work together to enhance the children's learning experiences.

Follow us on Facebook (Belmont PTA 2018); this is a simple thing to do and takes hardly any time at all yet still keeps you up to date with all the exciting things we have planned. Following us on Facebook will then enable you to contact us with any ideas, thoughts or suggestions.
