The Friends (PTA)
Welcome to our The Friends PTA Section.
Our PTA are known to us as The Friends of Our Lady St. Oswald's Catholic Primary School and they are integral to the day to day running and success of Our School.
The Friends are a dedicated group of parents who meet once or twice a term to help fundraise for the benefit of the pupils at Our Lady St. Oswald's Catholic Primary School . They are really enthusiastic and regularly organise fun events for the whole family to attend such as a Christmas Fayre, School Discos, Competitions, Cake, Plant and Book Sales, Family Fun nights, Quizzes and Summer Fayres.
The funds that they raise are spent directly on the school and its pupils. Past examples of where this money has been spent include coaches for all school trips, taking the whole school to the pantomime at Christmas, Early Years outdoor resources, Forest Schools, books, Play equipment, to name but a few! Their contribution is really important in making children’s learning and experiences exciting, motivating and truly memorable.
We welcome your help
The more volunteers we have, the less work there is for each of us to do. Everybody is welcome, our meetings are at school on a weekday evening at least once a term and are publicised in the weekly school newsletter and via the School App. Please come along and see what little you have to do to make a real difference to your child’s education.
What you get out of it
Apart from being apart of the quality of your children’s education, joining in with The Friends is fun, and is a great way to get to know more people in your local community.
