- We are always looking for new fundraising ideas and opportunities. 

- We meet regularly (either face-to-face or via zoom) so look out for details on your class WhatsApp group. 

- Any parent or guardian of a child, teacher or member of the school staff are members of the PTA and can attend.

Thank you to every single one of you who supported the PTA last year. Look what happens when a school community comes together!

And finally, a few words from the lovely Liz...
 
“I'm thrilled to have been recently appointed Chair of SAMs PTA. I have a long and established relationship with the school and care passionately about the added value the PTA can offer for our children. With school budgets and teaching staff under increasing pressure, and so much still affected by the COVID-19 pandemic of the past 18 months, there has never been a greater need for us to all step up, and I can 't wait for us to get cracking!”
