Welcome to the Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association!
The Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association (BPTA) is a registered charity, which is run by a committee of parents/carers.
We work as a team of parents/carers and teachers to raise funds throughout the academic year via the various events that we organise, as well as a variety of other fundraising initiatives. We then decide how the money raised should be allocated to enable the school to purchase equipment and educational resources that enrich the learning and enjoyment for all the children who attend Boxgrove Primary School.
A number of events are already planned for the year ahead and we are always grateful for new parents/carers to join our committee groups or even just provide support at one of our events – more hands really do make lighter work!
PTA Meetings
Regular meetings are held throughout the academic year to discuss funding requests from teachers for school equipment and projects, our social events, fundraising projects as well as volunteering opportunities. All parents/carers are encouraged to attend where possible and it’s a great way to get to know the school community and make new friends.
Your next PTA Meeting will be held on:
Tuesday 7th March 2023 at 19:30 in the Buzz Room.
PTA Events
We have several regular events, lined up for the next academic year, that have been run successfully for years by various groups of parents/carers.
To aid with the smooth running of these events we use the PTA Events platform for all our Event management, e-ticketing, booking, volunteering, auctions, as well as some communications. You will need to register an account to use it and book tickets, volunteer etc., but not to browse.
If you have a business, or know of anyone who does, that you feel would benefit from being seen by our school community we are able to sell business advertising space on this site. Please contact us for further information.
PTA Volunteering
We have many opportunities where parents/carers can help lend a hand with events and fundraising throughout the academic year.
No experience is necessary, and you don’t have to attend every meeting or help at every event, but by working together we can provide more (and better!) events for our community and raise more funds for our children’s education.
Volunteering for the PTA is extremely rewarding. Not only are you part of something that makes a difference to the children’s experience and education at school it also gives you an opportunity to make new friends and get to know the school environment.
PTA Fundraising
In addition to the various events organised throughout the year by our volunteers, we also have several on-going fundraising initiatives. These take minimal effort from participants, yet all help towards raising much needed funds. Please look at our fundraising page where you will be sure to find something of interest.
