Welcome to LCPS PTA

Aims and Objectives

 

LCPS PTA is an integral part of the school, raising thousands of pounds each year to spend on equipment and resources to provide enhancements and improve facilities to benefit our children's education and enjoyment during their time at the school.

We work as a forum for communication between the parents and the school, bringing forward your ideas, suggestions and feedback.  We strive to build a strong sense of community within the school, looking to achieve this through the many and varied events organised throughout the year.

     
    Who We Are
    The PTA is made up of parent members including a chair, vice-chair, treasurer and secretary and three teacher members, including the headmaster.

    Chair: Emma Evans   

    By Day: Full Time Parent. 

    Daughter in Yr 1  and 3 year old at nursery. Before starting a family, Emma worked in research in the finance industry.

    Member: Solomon Kamal-Uddin. 

    By Day: Background in Child Health

    Daughter in Yr 3 and Yr 6.  Daughter now in Yr 8.

    Solomon has a general all hands role within the PTA and finds it difficult to say no. He can be approached for all  queries and will ensure it is  passed onto someone who will actually move it forward. He remains within the PTA as he likes cake, and there is often left over cake after school events.

     

     

     Staff Member: Mr R Hacking, Headteacher. 


    Meetings 
    In addition to our AGM, we meet as a team six times a year (twice a term). Held in the evenings, our meetings provide the opportunity to share ideas, plan for future events and fundraising initiatives, discuss spending requirements and to hear about school news. When working on larger events, we also meet in smaller groups, or sub-committees.

    If you would like to find out more about joining the PTA, please talk to us or come along to one of our meetings - they're open to everyone to attend! If you would like further information, please contact us at ptalcps@gmail.com 

      PTA HELPERS

      Don't have the time to for the full commitment? The PTA is supported by the network of Class Reps (1-2 for each year) and by Friends of the Committee, who are parents who would like to help out more at events but who have not joined the full Committee. Many go on to join. A separate WhatsApp group is active and we always need a extra set of hands for organizing and events on a no commitment basis . Get in touch if you would like to be added to the group. 


      Registered Charity Status

      The Charities Act 1993 requires organisations with an annual income in excess of £1,000 to register with the Charities Commission.  We must abide by their rules and regulations and our constitution sets out how we operate as a PTA.

      Being a charity allows us to:

      • Apply for Gift Aid, earning us an extra 28.2p in every pound we raise
      • Raise funds more easily from grant giving trusts and local businesses
      • Take advantage of charity matched funding
