PTA

The Parent Teacher Association exists in order to raise valuable funds for our school and enhance the education of our pupils. We organise various events and activities throughout the year for both children and adults to enjoy as well as to raise funds.  As a parent of a child attending Unsworth Primary, you are automatically a member of the PTA and are welcome to attend all PTA meetings.

Here are some of the events that PTA organises throughout the year:

Autumn Term:

Halloween Disco:   This takes place after school. The children love to dress up in Halloween fancy dress or their favourite party clothes.

Christmas Market: This usually takes place at the end of the term and sells crafts made by the children. We are working on plans for Christmas activities this year - watch this space!

Spring term:

Easter Egg Bingo: The children love this event as they get a chance the win lots of chocolate!! It’s surprising how competitive the adults are too! 

Summer Term:

Party in the Playground:  This is the highlight of our year and is our version of a summer fair including traditional games such as tombola, hook a duck, raffle, face painting etc. We always pray for good weather so that we can arrange lots of activities outdoors and it’s always great when the sun shines. We need lots of helpers for this one so volunteers are most welcome!

Fundraising

Our school relies upon the goodwill and efforts of pupils, parents, staff, family and friends to raise money for school funds. View the 'Easyfundraising' information below to find out how you can raise money through 'Easyfundraising' when you shop online. It’s the PTA’s job to organise and manage these fund raising events, both big and small. This year the money we raise will go towards subsidising school trips throughout the year. This  helps to make school trips more affordable for families. In addition to this, the PTA contribute to various other projects. We would like to raise funds to purchase some new books for class libraries and also in the longer term we would like to contribute towards the purchase of some new play equipment in the school playground.  

Can You Help?

The PTA is always looking for assistance in running events. If you are able to assist (or just want to know more about what is going on when), then email your details to school or to unsworthprimarypta@gmail.com so we can keep you informed. Even if you can only help once a year, your assistance would be gratefully received!
