About us
The PTA is the fundraising arm of the school. It provides funds to purchase things not automatically covered by the LEA. It has been an integral part of the school community for many years and has raised thousands of pounds which have gone towards improving the equipment and resources available to our children. These have previously included interactive white boards, adventure playground, funding towards school trips and productions and, even smaller things such as football socks and curtains for the hall.

Some of the proposed spending for the 2009/2010 school year is:
Being discussed.

Events
Throughout the school year we organise several events, these are a great way to bring parents, children and staff together in a social atmosphere and at the same time raise valuable funds for the school.

We have many events through out the year i.e Shopping Night, Pamper Evening, Christmas Bazaar, Childrens Disco's, Non uniform day, Easter Egg hunt and Family Festival Day. New for 2011 we have the Happy Circus on May 5th.

Easy ways to help
As well as events we also have a number of ways to help which require minimum effort.

Membership
All parents of children attending Down Hall School are automatically members of the PTA. You do not have to take on a specific role to attend the meetings everybody is welcome and we really do value your input and it is a great way to meet other parents and generally get more involved with the school.

It doesn’t matter if you cannot attend or help out on a regular basis there are always small jobs that can be done from home e.g. wrapping presents for the Bazaar, preparing raffle tickets etc. As you can appreciate all events take a lot of organising especially the Christmas Bazaar so anything you can do really does help.

Have your say
If you have any ideas on events that we can hold or something you feel would be a spending area or would just like to find out more information about what you can do to help please contact the Chairperson, Emma Crisp or any of the committee members named above. You can contact us through our Facebook page 'DownHall PTA' of through our email 'downhallpta@hotmail.co.uk'. Alternatively you can drop a note into the PTA post box located in the lobby area by the school office.
