Welcome to the Austwick PARENT and TEACHERS Association Webpage

Webpage updated 14/01/2010

Austwick Church of England VA Primary School has a very active PTA that regularly organises fundraising events and social occasions.

The PTA is there to help support the school and has been very active in providing useful equipment

needed by the children for a better learning environment and also to aid the teachers in giving them the tools to perform their task.

The new Nursery School was opened in September 2006 our PTA helped in raising funds towards the construction costs

The PTA had a very successful year last year, so to keep up the momentum with our fundraising, a new committee has now taken over.

All parents are welcomed to the PTA and help is always required as time is given freely to support the work of the school.

Refreshments are provided at all school events by the PTA, these include Book Fairs, Sports Day, Parent's Evening and Christmas Concerts / Nativity Play.

This year the committee is busy organising the following events:

A Mile of Pennies - Children will be asked to save 1 pence coins in order to try to make a mile of pennies

Jewellery Recycling

The PTA Presents Y5 leavers with cameras to record their last days at Austwick School

The PTA subsidise the Humphrey Head trip for Y5 each year.

Parents and staff are involved in the PTA and freely give their time to support the work of the school. In the Autumn Term, the PTA supported the school by providing funding for:

Theatre Visit to see Sleeping Beauty

Foundation & KS1 Numeracy Resources

Foundation "magnablocks" Play Resources

2 Digital Cameras (Foundation & KS1)

Beebots for use in the KS1 Classroom.

In the Summer Term, the PTA is providing funding for a school

visit to the South Lakes Conservation Park.
