The Morley School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) endeavours to support the school in every way it can. The PTA works hard to ensure a positive profile both inside and outside the school environment. As parents of a pupil, membership is automatic. The committee is just those people who are able to get to the meetings more regularly. We value all participation, support and contribution given.
Through our fun events we raise money that helps to fund equipment, trips etc. During last school year we raised over £3700 through various activities including the Easter event, The Halloween event, the school disco, and a fashion show. Meetings are typically held once per half term and we are constantly looking for new members to support our work. These meetings provide an opportunity for parents to communicate with the school community, make suggestions and generally engage in the education of our children.
For more information, please see any member of the committee.
