Parents-Teachers' Association (PTA)

The school enjoys terrific levels of support for all activities involving parents and there is an active parent-teachers’ association.

The association organises a number of activities each year, both to create occasions at which parents, staff and children can enjoy themselves and also to raise funds to purchase items which will enhance the children’s extra-curricular opportunities. New members are always welcomed to the PTA Committee, which is responsible for coordinating events.

What was Larger Lout doing in Langham Tower?
Well, in case you were wondering, he was a racehorse who took part in our recent PTA Race Night presented by Mr. Bulmer! A fantastic night of entertainment was had by all parents who came along to this special evening to help raise funds for the school. Thanks to the sixth form students who helped out in the ‘blackjack’ room together with superb catering organised by committee members, this was certainly a night that should be repeated!
