PTA for Richmount Primary School

Forthcoming Events

REINDEER FOOD will be on sale again this year from Start of December

The Staff and PTA committee would like to say a big thank you to all the parents and families for the valuable support given during our last school year. We were able to raise a total of £2,502.41 through a variety of events. All this money goes directly to providing those extras which the school budget cannot fund.

For every pound raised — every child benefits

Last year we were able to buy 2 Carousels for displaying

Library Books, Lego/K-nex/Minibeast grab and go kit, a CD

player/Amp for the Assembly Hall, 4 Flip cameras, new chairs, The Nessy Learning Programme, Reading Partnership Resources and finally we subsidised the children’s outing to the Pantomime. We know all these items will benefit the children and also help the staff maintain the high standards which exists within our school.

ANNUAL AGM

We held our AGM on Monday 10 October and were pleased to welcome Mr David Cardwell. Any other parents who feel they would have a few hours to spare each term and would like to join the team, please contact one of the committee members. We meet approximately 4 times per year and would be grateful for any new support.
