Welcome to Bridge Farm Primary PTA (Parent Teacher Association).
The PTA is a group of parent and teacher - volunteers - who organise fund-raising activities for the school.
The PTA aims to provide the ‘extras’ that the school is unable to finance from the normal budgets. During the last year we have contributed to many school projects; £2000 towards playground markings, £4200 for the new kitchen; £3100 for the nature garden; £400 for the Jubilee party to name but a few. We also contributed £2000 towards books for the new school library.
What have we been up to recently?
In Term 4 we held the first School Disco for Years 3 & 4. All of the children had a great time, and were very proud of their gangnam moves. The event raised £106, so thank you very much to all Year 3 & 4 parents for your support. We also held a Bag2School day on 20th Feb and raised £151. Thanks to everyone for your support. If anyone still has donations please bring them into school and we can store them ready for our next Bag2School day on 26th June. The Table Top sale on the 16th March raised £290, and the Easter Egg Raffle raised £252. So all in all lots of fun had by all during Term 4, and approximately £800 raised for the school with your help – Thank You.
In Term 5 we held more School Discos this time for Years 1, 2, 5 & 6 on the 20th May. Everyone had a great time and there were some great moves on the dance floor. These discos raised £320. Thank you to all parents for your support and special thanks to the parents and staff who helped on the night.
We are currently busy organising this year’s summer event, the Circus in association with John Lawson’s Circus. For tickets look out for our PTA Team in the playground, call 01275 834079 or email pta.bridgefarmp@bristol.gov.uk
The PTA always needs new faces and new ideas!
If you would like to help with fund-raising activities, in any way at all, then please consider coming along to one of our committee meetings. There will be no pressure to get involved, but you may like to find out more about what we’re doing.
At committee meetings we plan what events we want to run, who can organise them and who will help, and how we will spend the money that has been raised.
It’s an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. You can also have the satisfaction of knowing that you are directly benefiting your child’s learning environment.
You can contact the PTA via email. pta.bridgefarmp@bristol.gov.uk
