Our Team
The MENPS Parent Teacher Association (PTA) hopes to build a strong sense of community at MENPS and support the school in providing excellent learning experiences for our children.
The MENPS PTA organises a range of fundraising events and community services. For example: the annual Food and Fun Fair, student discos, secondhand uniform sales and more.
The funds we raise are a valuable addition to the government funding/operating grant the school receives. Most recently, the PTA have been supporting the Board of Trustees with their Canopy Project; which is now going ahead in 2023.
All PTA funds raised are invaluable and help us to sustain many of the aspects of school life and resourcing that we don’t receive funding from the government for. Read more about this on this school newsletter originally shared on 4 May, 2023.
We are a fun and purposeful team who really enjoy contributing to the school community. We always welcome new members, new skills and new ideas. If you would like to help, please come along to a meeting – or just email us: menpspta@gmail.com.
