Dear Parent/Carer

I would like to introduce myself as the new chair of St John’s Primary School PTA. I have three boys

Freddy (Y7 at Wallingford School), James (Y4) and Zac (Y2). We moved to Wallingford a little over a

year ago and I teach 4 days a week at St Birinus School in Didcot. I am very much looking forward to

chairing the PTA here at St John’s but I am very busy and need as much help and support as I can

get.

I believe the role of the PTA is vital in supporting the school provide the best education and

opportunities possible for your children. These can be in many different guises such as organising

volunteers to help in school or in maintaining the school through events such as ‘Love Your School

Day’ as well as financially through fundraising activities which help fund trips and equipment the

school would otherwise be unable to afford.

We are all very busy and, as they say, many hands make light work, so this is a request for help with

the PTA. I would like to set up a few things to try and make life a little easier for everyone.

Firstly I would like to set up a system of PTA Class Representatives. If one or two volunteers could

step forward from each class for at least a year to help it would ensure better communication

between the PTA and parents. The role would include:



At least one rep to attend PTA committee meetings



Disseminating information about PTA events and sending out PTA reminders



Being a liaison between the PTA and Parents



Helping to gather volunteers from your class to help at various events

If you are interested in this but would like to know more I will be at school on Friday 23rd and

Tuesday 27

January in the KS2 Library at 2.50pm for a short meeting. Alternatively please email

. If you would like to be a class rep (or are one already and are

happy to remain in the role) please complete the form below and hand it to your class teacher by

Friday 30

January.
