Meet The St. Jude’s Parent/Teachers Association (PTA)
A Warm Welcome to All Parents and Carers!
And an extra special greeting to anyone new to the St Jude’s family!
We’re thrilled to introduce you to the St Jude’s PTA, a dedicated and friendly group of parents and carers working together to support our school, organise exciting events, and raise funds to make a difference.
With school budgets often stretched, the PTA plays a crucial role in ensuring our children receive those little (and big!) extras that make school life even more enriching and fun.
In recent years, thanks to the generosity and efforts of our community, the PTA has funded vital resources such as laptops, interactive learning screens, an upgraded Key Stage 1 playground, school trips, workshops, and even helped maintain our lovely nature garden – home to our much-loved resident chickens!
We’d love to hear your ideas and invite you to join in, whether it’s lending a hand at events or offering your expertise. Together, we can achieve so much more!
Get in touch:
Email us at stjudespta@googlemail.com, or feel free to chat with our friendly Co-Chairs, Vanessa (children YR and Y3)and Liz (Children in Y4 &Y2), or our Secretary, Anna (children YR and Y3) and Treasurer Sarah (child in Y4) for more information.
