Pencombe CofE Primary has a proactive PTA which is extremely well supported by hardworking, energetic committee members and generous parents, governors and friends.

The PTA also provides valuable social opportunities for those in our school community to meet and have fun. Everyone is welcome to participate (all parents and carers are automatically members) and creative minds are welcomed to dream up new fundraising ideas and to help decide how best to spend the money the PTA raises.
The PTA runs a school ‘Wish List’ which allows the teachers to provide details of all the extra things they need funding for to support the education of our pupils. This is discussed at the PTA meetings to agree how the funds should be spent. Examples include the annual pantomime trip, contributions to other educational trips, playground equipment, classroom supplies and materials, ICT equipment. In addition to things that benefit all the children, every year each class teacher has a specified amount which they can spend on items specifically for their class. Examples include books and educational games, waterproofs and overalls, writing tablets, notice boards.
Further information about the PTA can be found in the  PTA Welcome Newsletter.
The PTA committee meets regularly to discuss the school wish list, our events and activities and anything else which needs our consideration. Meeting details will be sent out via email/Seesaw about one week prior to the meeting date. All meetings are open and any member can come along to find out what the PTA is planning, share ideas and get involved – we would love to see you!
Information from our previous committee meetings is available by contacting the PTA Secretary.
