Welcome to the Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association!
The Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association (BPTA) is an officially registered charity, administered by a committee of dedicated parents/carers.
Our mission is to work collaboratively as a team of parents/carers and teachers to generate funds throughout the academic year. We achieve this through organising various events and implementing diverse fundraising initiatives. The funds raised are then thoughtfully allocated to enable the school to acquire equipment and educational resources that enhance the learning experience and overall enjoyment for all the children attending Boxgrove Primary School.
We already have a lineup of exciting events planned for the upcoming year, and we warmly welcome new parents/carers to join our committee groups or provide support at any of our events. Your involvement, no matter how big or small, significantly contributes to the success of our endeavors.
Together, we can make a positive impact, and as they say, many hands make light work!
PTA Meetings
Throughout the academic year, we hold regular meetings to cover a range of important topics. These meetings serve as a platform to discuss funding requests from teachers regarding school equipment and projects, plan social events, coordinate fundraising projects, and explore volunteering opportunities.
We strongly encourage all parents/carers to attend these meetings whenever possible. It’s an excellent opportunity to engage with the school community, forge new connections, and foster new friendships.
We value your presence and input in shaping the educational experience for our children.
Your next PTA Meeting will be held on:
Tuesday 16th January 2024 at 07:30pm via Zoom (details released via Studybugs nearer the time).
PTA Events
We have an exciting lineup of regular events planned for the upcoming academic year, which have been successfully organised by various groups of parents/carers over the years.
To ensure the smooth operation of these events, we utilise the PTA Events platform for event management, e-ticketing, bookings, volunteer coordination, auctions, and some communications. To fully engage with these features, you will need to register an account, allowing you to book tickets, volunteer, and more. However, browsing the platform does not require an account.
If you or someone you know owns a business that would benefit from exposure to our school community, we offer the opportunity to buy advertising space on our PTA Events website.
For further information regarding this opportunity, please feel free to contact us.
PTA Volunteering
Throughout the academic year, we offer numerous opportunities for parents/carers to actively participate in events and fundraising activities.
You don’t need any prior experience, and there’s no expectation for you to attend every meeting or assist at every event. However, by joining forces, we can create a more extensive and higher-quality range of events for our community while raising additional funds to support our children’s education.
Volunteering for the Boxgrove Parent Teacher Association (BPTA) is an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only do you become part of a collective effort that positively impacts the children’s educational journey and overall experience at school, but it also opens doors to new friendships and a deeper understanding of the school environment.
PTA Fundraising
In addition to the diverse range of events organised by our dedicated volunteers throughout the year, we also offer several ongoing fundraising initiatives. These initiatives require minimal effort from participants while still contributing significantly to our fundraising goals.
We encourage you to explore our fundraising page, where you will discover a variety of options that are sure to pique your interest. Your support, no matter how small, goes a long way in helping us raise the much-needed funds for our PTA.
