Ashford Church of England Primary School

Parent Teacher Association

Welcome to the Ashford C of E Primary School PTA!

Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a vibrant and welcoming part of school life, bringing together parents, carers, teachers, and staff to enhance the educational experience of every child at Ashford C of E Primary.

What We Do

The PTA works throughout the year to support our school community. We:

• Organise fun events for children and families, such as school discos, fayres, and seasonal celebrations.
• Raise vital funds to provide additional resources, experiences, and opportunities for our pupils.
• Foster a strong sense of community by connecting parents and staff in a shared mission to support our children’s education and wellbeing.

Why Your Support Matters

Every parent and carer is automatically part of the PTA, and there are many ways to get involved – from helping at events to sharing ideas or offering a bit of your time. Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference.

By supporting the PTA, you are helping to enrich the learning environment for all our children – and it’s a great way to meet other families and be part of school life.

If you’d like to find out more, volunteer, or share your ideas, we’d love to hear from you ashfordcofepta@gmail.com

Together, we can make a positive and lasting impact on our children’s primary school journey.
