PTA - The Friends of Booker Hill

PTA Newsletters

What is the PTA?

We are an association of parents and staff that support, arrange and run a variety events that happen around the school. Many of these occasions are fundraisers, with the money raised enabling the school to offer further support to our children.

How does the PTA benefit the school?

Here’s just a few of the things that the money raised by the Friends of Booker Hill last school year has been spent on. As you can see it’s been spent on lots of different things which mean the whole school benefits!

• Nursery through to Year 6 Christmas parties
• Father Christmas gifts
• Hardship fund
• Helping to subsidise school trips
• ICT Equipment

During the Autumn term, we liaise with the school to decide on targets for fundraising across the coming academic year.
