PA

Welcome to The Mead Parents’ Association

The Parents’ Association extends a warm welcome to every parent or guardian with a child at The Mead Infant and Nursery School. The purpose of the PA is to promote the goals of the school and enhance the education that our children receive, whilst promoting good communication between parents.

This group of parent volunteers is led by a board consisting of a Chairperson, a Secretary, Treasurer, Head Teacher, and aided by a number of additional volunteer roles plus at least one parent representative from each class. We also have vacancies for a Vice Chair and several other roles at present.

The PA volunteers work closely with the school to raise additional monies to help buy items not funded by the Local Education Authority. We do this by organising events for the children and parents such as fairs, quiz nights, cake sales and a host of other activities. We always endeavour to spend our funds in ways that will benefit all our children, across all areas of the school and curriculum.

Previous fundraising has helped to buy many resources, including:

  • Play equipment in the playground
  • Canopy in the Oak playground
  • Wet playtime toys/activities
  • Visualisers in each classroom
  • Refurbishment and restock of the school library

Our main focus this year is to fund the purchase of additional iPads which will enable the school to serve a whole year group at a time and if possible also contribute to outside reading spaces.  We may also fund any ad hoc projects that come to light through the year.  All expenditure is discussed and agreed at one of the PA meetings to ensure that each pound raised is carefully spent.

We always welcome new faces, even more so if you have any fundraising ideas or can lend practical support.  Please come and join us, you can be as involved as you like! 

Of course, if you see any of the below committee members in the playground, please feel free to come and ask any questions you may have.
