Croft PTA is a parents association setup to raise funds for Croft Primary School.

Over recent years the families of Croft School, via events organised by the PTA, have raised a terrific sum to provide play equipment, classroom equipment and treats for the children of Croft school.

Meetings are very informal and more often than not we’ll meet over a coffee in the The
Croft hotel. Dates are sometimes decided at fairly short notice but are posted in the
noticeboard next to the school gate.

All newcomers are welcomed and you needn’t attend every meeting. If
you can’t make a meeting but have comments or ideas for future events, please do pass
them on via croftschoolpta@googlemail.com or to a PTA member in the playground.

We hope that existing familieshave enjoyed the events so far
this school year. New faces would be welcome at any of our meetings
along with future fundraising ideas and suggestions for where you’d
like to see funds spent.
