Parent Teacher Group
We are very lucky to have such an active Parent Teacher Group who fundraise for the school throughout the year. They meet twice a term to discuss fundraising events and to gather ideas of ways that they can help the school. By fundraising and organising events for the kids, the PTG aim to make a positive difference in the school and wider community.
