PTA


Welcome to the West Didsbury's Parent Teacher Association where all parents are members and all children benefit.

We have an active parents association who organise many social and fund-raising events throughout the year. It is a great way to get to know other people in the school community. All parents are welcome to participate.Please help us with our fund-raising efforts. The money raised pays for all those extra things which we would otherwise be unable to afford.

Our Purpose

To advance the education and enrich the school experience of pupils at West Didsbury CE, ensuring every child has access to the same opportunities.

Through working together as a community;  parents, teachers, carers and children, we will deliver a range of fundraising activities to support the school and advance the education and quality of the children's experience.

All parents, carers, guardians and staff are automatically members of the PTA and are invited to attend all meetings.

The Role of the PTA

  • To provide funding for additional resources and experiences not covered through existing school budgets, and any budget shortfalls;
  • Deliver fundraising activities throughout the year;
  • Communicate to parents relevant information on PTA activities and social events, through PTA class reps, newsletter, noticeboard and website.

Fundraising

This year we hope to raise £5,000, to support school activities and buy additional resources to enhance our children's school experience.

Soem of the things we would like to support this year are:

  • Benches for the quiet area in the playground
  • Small greenhouse or cold frame
  • Canopies or outdoor umbrellas
  • Netball pitches
  • Playpod or children's shed
  • Trees and supplies for wood planting
  • Ongoing supoort for school activities, trips and additional resources
