Welcome

Welcome To Portway Schools' Association

 

 

Welcome to our website, further down this post we will talk about some of the features of the website. Before that, you will hear of us around the school as the PSA, which stands for Portway Schools' Association. Of course when I say US i mean YOU, simply by being a parent of a child in either the Portway Infant or Junior schools you are automatically established as a member of the PSA.

The PSA is run by a very small committee of parents, who give up their spare time to organise the social events throughout the year for the enjoyment of the entire school community of Pupils, Parents, Teachers & Staff. The objective of the PSA is to advance the education of pupils in the Schools, in particular by developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the School & engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the Schools.

Some of the events hosted by the PSA Committee include The Summer Fair, The Christmas Fair, Discos & Band nights. If you would like to be more involved in the committee please get in touch, you won't have any pressure to take on an officer role. There are more events we'd love to host for the school community throughout the year but our resources are currently stretched with such a small committee.

Volunteering 

It is safe to say that the single most stressful thing about being involved in the PSA is our volunteer numbers, we need more parents to come forward and help us to run our events.  If all parents could pledge to give two hours to the PSA over the course of the year; either in the run up to or during an event, this would ensure that you and your children really benefit from all the fun events we can offer. If everybody gives a little, it will share the load and mean less people will be doing the lot.  Please consider a two hour pledge to the PSA this year and help us to make it our best (and most stress free) year yet.

Any upcoming events will have the volunteering needed posted on this site, once you have registered please go and select the job you'd like to do. You can find the available roles in each event page or by going to the volunteering page under the About us section.
