About us

Jeavons Wood PTA is a registered charity made up of parents, carers and teachers who raise additional funds to provide activities and equipment for the school children.

The objective of the PTA is to advance the education of pupils in the school by:

• Engaging in fundraising activities and providing facilities or equipment which supports the school and advances the education of the pupils.
• Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school.

Our PTA exists to provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school. You can read our full constitution here.

Our Aims

The PTA aims to:

• Organise fun charity activities and events for children and their families.
• Raise funds for activities and resources that are not funded through the school budget.
• Provide opportunities that will welcome and encourage parents and carers to become part of the Jeavons Wood school community.
• Involve the wider community with the school.
