Busbridge Infant School PTA is a registered Charity, Number 1064985

The PTA is a voluntary independent charitable organisation; the trustees are made up of an elected mixture of parents and teachers. All parents at the school are automatically members of the PTA.

Investing in the School

Money Raised from PTA fundraisers has helped the school meet its larger and longer term goals, details of which can be found below.

The PTA continues to provide new resources and equipment of a smaller scale, such as arts and crafts materials, an annual Christmas play for all children, maths and literacy funding and many others.

Previous PTA funded projects have included:

New Furniture in EYFS classrooms

The Nest-break out space and curriculum kitchen

Clevertouch in all classrooms

Woodland Learning Area

Year 2 Outdoor area

This year we will be raising funds for educational experiences such as The Pied Piper Christmas Performance, and an author's visit during Book Week and the redevelopment of the early years outdoor area to create a much-needed improved safe and inviting learning space which the children love to use.
