Welcome to our PTA
Our PTA is a group of parents and teachers who plan and run exciting events to raise money for the benefit of the children in our school. The PTA have funded some brilliant projects including new playground markings, school trips, swimming lessons, forest school equipment and loads more. The PTA doesn't just raise money, it also organises fun, social events for the school community from quiz nights to pop up takeaways to camping festivals.
If you would like to become part of the PTA, find out more or contact the PTA then email us on pta@axbridgefirstschool.co.uk or follow us on Facebook.

“The PTA is an integral part of our school community. It offers a lovely opportunity for close co-operation and communication between parents, us as staff and the wider community. It is wonderful that we all work together to provide the children with those extra-special experiences that they simply love.“ Headteacher “Having so many parents involved in PTA activities is wonderful; it says so much about our school as a family community and sets a marvelous example of enthusiasm and helpfulness for the children.” Chair of Governors |
