Welcome to the PTA web pages where you will find news about the fundraising ideas and events to be held in school. We hope you will find lots of useful information here, if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us with feedback.

There is an active PTA at Claverdon School organising events which bring together members of the local community. Money is raised by the PTA to enable the school to buy a variety of much needed equipment. A full and varied range of functions is organised for both children and parents, many parents offering their help to run these events. These are great fun and a good time is had by all! Any parent or carer who wishes to attend a meeting or help at any organised event is welcome and every offer of help is really useful and very much appreciated.

What is the PTA?

All Parents and Teachers at Claverdon Primary School are automatically members of the Parents Teachers Association (PTA). The aim of the PTA is to foster better relationships between parents and the schools, to create a partnership which helps the school to listen and to deal with parents' concerns, for parents to learn more about what they can do to help the school and improve their children's education.

We have a committee of volunteers who are are nominated and voted in at the Annual General Meeting in November.

What events do the PTA host?

There are a number of events which are may be held throughout the year including:

PTA Meetings and AGM
Ladies Evening
Calling all mums who fancy a bit of pampering! This includes demonstrations and talks about a number of subjects, including wine, make-up and jewellery.
Chocolate or Cake Fridays
This is a cake sale held each Friday, usually for the second half of the term, after school with the parents and carers of each school year taking it in turn to run the stall. Prices are set so that the children can buy one or more cakes with their pocket money. The PTA year reps will need your help with organising the sales and will be drumming up support in the week that your child’s class have their turn.

Allocation of funds

We’ve been able to buy a new overhead projector and larger screen for School with the proceeds from the recent Ladies Night. So, once again, thanks to all for their contributions. more...

The 100+ Club

The 100+ Club offers its members the opportunity to support Claverdon School whilst also - here's the good bit - giving the opportunity to win a non-taxable lump sum every month. And, probably, with better odds of winning than Premium Bonds or The National Lottery, it would be madness not to join. more...

Do you shop on the internet?

If you do, then you can help us raise money for school by using our new online fundraising service 'The Giving Machine'. It is very simple to use and will not cost you a penny! more...

Yellow Moon

We need your help to raise vital funds for the School. But don't worry, we're not asking you to donate money this time! Instead we've found an ingenious way for you to buy wonderful products to keep your child entertained and help their development - plus help us raise the funds we need too. more...
