St James’s Primary School & Nursery Unit prides itself on having a very enthusiastic and energetic Parent Teacher Association (PTA).

Our Aim
The aim of the PTA is to foster strong relationships between staff and parents, engage in & support activities for the children of our school, and raise additional, necessary funding which has been spent on equipment and resources to enhance our children’s educational experience and the school’s facilities.
How can you get involved? - Volunteer to help at an event
Any event that we host always requires lots of help. If you can offer your time, skills or simply want to help out then we would love to hear from you.
Where does your money go?
We have raised ££££s for equipment and resources to support our children in their learning.
In the past, funding from the PTA has assisted with many purchases. Below are some of the most recent purchases made on behalf of the PTA:-
Our children had so much fun at the eagerly awaited PTA St Valentine’s Disco on Thursday 8th February. This popular annual event is going from strength to strength. The creative energies of the PTA team were employed to great effect. We had a beautifully decorated assembly hall that was filled with disco lights and music. Our resident DJ, the brilliant Bernie Beats, delighted the children with a range of songs to get them singing along and throwing shapes. The much anticipated balloon drop was supplemented this year by paper cannon pops. We even had a tattoo parlour. The children went home happy that evening with their Valentine themed treat bags.
A huge thank you to the PTA committee and volunteers for their time, dedication and hard work. A particular note of gratitude goes out to Bernie Beats.
