PTA

A WARM HELLO FROM THE FRIENDS OF CROWN MEADOW

Who we are:

We are The Friends of Crown Meadow, the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for Crown Meadow First School & Nursery
We are an enthusiastic committee of parents and a registered Charity - we are not part of the school governing body, but we have a close relationship with Keith Wiseman and his team of Governors, as well as Sally Athey and her senior leadership team

Chair: Jemma Jackson

Vice:

Treasurer: Gregg Schofield

Secretary: Nicola Sutton

Our vision:

We are focused on building strong and effective relationships between the staff, parents and all associated with the school to build a sense of community
We are committed to supporting the education of children at CMFS by engaging in activities and providing facilities/equipment, which support the school and the pupils
This is done primarily through fundraising and through a calendar of activities and events, ranging from seasonal discos, raffles and cake sales
Our main purpose is to raise money and how that money is spent changes each year. Over the last few years, we have helped raise funds to finance a range of items for the school, such as learning resources including £4000 towards books for all Year Groups, plus online resources for phonics and spelling, along with Early Years maths equipment
But we also just like to have fun, hosting lively events that are enjoyable for the kids…adults…staff and the community!

How we work

We know that parents and teaching staff are busy, so we try and make things easy. We have a PayPal account and card reader, helping us to make event ticketing and school payment transfers quick and easy….and bar queues nice and short for thirsty Mums and Dads!

Friends of Crown Meadow events are promoted and communicated via ParentMail, the school calendar and Facebook

How can you help?

Without your help and support, we couldn’t exist
Every parent and guardian with children enrolled at the school is welcome to join us, alongside all the teaching and non-teaching staff
We appreciate whatever help you can offer. It could be as simple as turning up to one of our events to buy a cake or a raffle ticket now or then. We always need volunteers to help set-up and run our events. Or you might like to join the committee - do as much or as little as you feel able to
Contact any of the committee members on friendsofcrownmeadow@gmail.com to register your interest, share feedback, suggestions or ideas for activities
We’d also love to hear from you if you work for an organisation that offers funding (full or matched) for local charities and causes
Is your employer a high-profile local attraction or national retailer who could supply tickets, vouchers or merchandise for raffle prizes. If so, do drop us a line

Forthcoming dates

Thanks for reading and we hope to see you at one of our events very soon!
