Welcome to Dormansland Primary School PTA

We look forward to working together as you become part of the great community here at Dormansland Primary School.

What is the PTA and who is a member? 

Our Parent and Teacher Association fundraises on behalf of the school to help enrich the lives and education of the children at our school. It gives parents an opportunity to contribute in some way to their child’s school, to meet other parents, and believe it or not - to have fun! Every parent/carer with a child at Dormansland automatically becomes a member of our PTA, often referred to as ‘the cherry on top’ of the school. 

PTA meetings happen throughout the school year.  All are welcome and we always enjoy hearing fresh ideas, and offers of help are gratefully received. Please look out for our newsletters for up to date information and stay in touch through our social media platforms on Instagram and Facebook.

PTA Objectives:

• To raise funds, which provide important revenue for school equipment, learning opportunities and treats
• To promote our own community through social events and family participation

How can you help?

We work on the principle that 'many hands make light work'. If you can offer any help at all throughout the year, whether your strengths are in organising, crafting, building, lifting or writing grant applications.  Also, some employers have a charity budget through which employees can obtain donations to their child’s school, usually on the basis of 'match-funding'. This is a fantastic and easy way to raise money.

If you have any questions you can always leave a message for the PTA committee at the school office, e-mail them on dormanslandschoolpta@outlook.com or come and find us at drop off or pick up.
