Welcome to Atwood Parents Association Website

The Atwood Parents Association is for the whole school community – Parents, carers, children
and school staff alike, we welcome involvement from everyone.

We are constantly looking for people to take an active part in the PA’s work, as well as new ideas for events and activities, which will be fun for everyone at Atwood which in turn raises money for out fantastic school.

In recent years, the money raised by the school's PA has funded a large number of things that have benefited all our children. These have included:

• Purchasing the new school minibus
• Providing funds towards the new library
• New Playground equipment
• Trim Trail
• New Computers

In addition, and we believe just as importantly, the events run by the PA have provided activities where families, the school and the local community can come and enjoy themselves together throughout the year.

We are now, however in a position where the PA will not be able to run as many events unless we have some additional help from other parents.  This year we have seen a decline in our numbers as parents of children have left year 6 and moved onto other schools this year we will again see another decline in our numbers. 

On behalf of the PA and the school, we are asking for your support. Please join the PA and help make the school a better place for your children. If you are able to help no matter how small please contact the PA. We would however love to hear from anyone who would like to join the committee,  we meet 4 times a year and you can choose as to how much you would like to get involved - the more the better but any help and support is greatly appreciated.

New Ideas!    

If you have any ideas, large or small, please pass them on to your class rep or email the PA. The PA will be delighted to hear from you.

PA Meetings

In response to feedback, we will be holding PA and Class Rep meetings on a Friday morning in order to help those that are unable to attend in the evenings due to childcare issues or work commitments.  Therefore You can bring your child/children along to the Friday morning meetings and these meetings will last just one hour. The meetings will be held in the children’s centre. Please check the events page or the school diary for dates of these meetings.
