Go to Easy Fundraising and select Broxbourne Primary School PTA as the charity to support. The PTA will get cashback when you buy items from over 4,000 retailers. You can set up a notification which pops up whenever you are on a site that uses Easy Fundraising, to remind you, which makes it really easy.

Did you know that by just being a member of our school, you automatically become a member of the PTA? A PTA is for everyone, it is a great way to bring together parents and teachers who are interested in supporting the school and is also a lot of fun.

All parents and teachers can get involved, even if they only have a small amount of time available.   Our PTA is a real partnership where both groups working together have developed a valuable relationship between home and school.

What does the PTA do?

• Fundraises by way of special events or activities in school to help the school provide “extras” for the children.
• Runs social events for parents and children.
• Enables people from across the school to meet and get to know one other.The PTA committee is made up of a team of parents and teacher representatives of the whole school community.  The committee meets at school monthly, to discuss fundraising ideas and how to spend money raised.  Our meetings are very informal and newcomers are always welcome.

Class Representatives

Our class representatives undertake a very important role.  There are usually two representatives per class who provide a link between individual classes, parents and the PTA committee.  The support from class representatives is vital when it comes to organising our main events.  They take charge of their individual class stalls for both the summer and Christmas fairs and, with the support of the PTA committee, organise rotas of help and donations.  We really could not manage without them.

Forthcoming Events

Annual General Meeting (AGM)

Our Annual General Meeting lasts less than an hour, and is held in October at the beginning of the academic year. It is an opportunity for all parents to come along and hear in more detail about events, funds raised and how the money has been spent.  It is also the occasion when we elect our new committee and class representatives.
