The Friends of Crowhurst School (PTA)
At Crowhurst, we are incredibly fortunate to have a vibrant and dedicated Parent-Teacher Association known as the Friends of Crowhurst. This passionate group of parents, carers, and staff works tirelessly to enhance the school experience for every child, ensuring their time with us is filled with joy, discovery, and lasting memories.
What is a PTA?
A Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) is a bridge between home and school. Its primary role is to raise funds to provide "the extras"—those vital resources and experiences that sit outside the core school budget but make a world of difference to a child’s development.
From funding state-of-the-art playground equipment and subsidising school trips to organising seasonal fayres and leavers' celebrations, the Friends of Crowhurst ensure that every pupil has access to a rich and varied school life.
Why the Friends of Crowhurst are Integral to our school
The dedication of our PTA is vital to the fabric of our school. Their efforts go far beyond simple fundraising; they build our community. By hosting events that bring families together, they create a sense of belonging that mirrors our school values of Nurture, Empower, and Achieve.
We are extremely grateful for their support, as their contributions directly impact:
- Lasting Memories: Through discos, workshops, and special visitors.
- Enriched Learning: By providing additional technology, books, and sensory resources.
- School Environment: Enhancing our outdoor spaces and communal areas for all to enjoy.
Join Us: Your Voice Matters
We are always looking for new members to join the Friends of Crowhurst! Whether you can lead an event, bake a cake, or simply spare an hour to help set up a stall, your contribution is invaluable. Joining the PTA is a brilliant way to:
- Connect with other parents and staff.
- Contribute to your child’s school environment.
- Create positive change that benefits every pupil.
No commitment is too small. Whether you are a "behind-the-scenes" organiser or a "front-of-house" volunteer, we would love to have you on board.
