Parklands has an active PTA, which organises a range of events throughout the year. Not only are these enjoyable, but they also raise useful sums of money for the school. Events include Summer and Christmas Fairs, movie nights, a summer disco, craft and bingo events and more…

The financial contribution from the PTA can be seen all around the school, from the outdoor play equipment, e.g. the trim trails, iPads and laptops, classroom resources, our sensory cabin to the yearly Easter Eggs classroom wet play equipment! However, much money is raised, the enthusiasm and enjoyment of the children who participate in these events is the best reward for all involved.

The PTA is run by parents with help from staff and all parents/grandparents/carers of pupils at school are welcome to join in and help shape future activities. The Committee is elected at an Annual General Meeting and Committee meetings are held roughly once each half-term to decide upon and organise upcoming events. Anyone connected with the school is welcome to attend.

The PTA can be contacted via the school office by telephone, email or in person. They also have their own email address: ptaparklands@gmail.com
