Welcome:
Welcome to St Anthony’s Parent Staff Association (PSA). As parents of children at the School, we are all automatically members of our PSA.
Our PSA is a registered charity (charity number 1182582), and our objectives are:
To support St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School and Preschool with developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school and engaging in activities/providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
Our main task is to organise social and fundraising events to meet these objectives and ensure the funds raised are used to their maximum benefit. Our headteacher, Mrs Straker, is actively involved in the PSA, and with her team, the St Anthony's staff are great and enthusiastic supporters of all our activities. We have regular PSA meetings and social events for parents – keep an eye out for PSA emails, on the PSA boards and on Facebook to find out when and do come and join us.
The Fireworks display is our highlight of the year, but we also run other events such as second-hand uniform sales and Barn Dance.
The following are just some of the activities, items and equipment that the PSA has funded in recent years :
Our big focus over the last year and moving forward is to fundraise for the new agricultural barn in Farm School.
Whether it is becoming an elected member, volunteering at an event, attending events or by making donations, as parents we all have a role we can play within the PSA, and we always welcome new people and new ideas. However you choose to get involved, we hope you will enjoy becoming part of the PSA and we look forward to welcoming you and your family to our small, friendly community at St Anthony’s.
