Holy Trinity Catholic School PTA

The Holy Trinity Catholic School Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) is a registered nonprofit organization in the United Kingdom under charity number 1145091. As an integral part of the Holy Trinity Catholic School community, the PTA is composed of parents and staff who collaborate to raise additional funds beyond the school budget to enhance the educational and extracurricular experience of the children attending the school.

The primary mission of the Holy Trinity Catholic School PTA is to organize and hold fundraising events, with all proceeds directly supporting the school's activities and resources. Over the years, the PTA has funded a variety of school enhancements including technology purchases like iPads and additional laptops, outdoor and indoor play equipment, school trips, workshops, pianos, PA systems, garden projects, Christmas parties, and the annual pantomime trip. These contributions aim to provide resources and experiences that are not typically covered by the school's regular funding[1][2].

The PTA meets approximately once every half term in informal sessions to plan upcoming events and discuss ideas, with an open invitation to new members to join and contribute. The association actively acknowledges and appreciates the support from individuals and local companies who donate to support various events throughout the year[1].

An example of the PTA’s community engagement is their organization of annual events such as the Summer Fete, which garners strong attendance and community involvement, playing a significant role in raising funds for the school[3].

Through continuous fundraising efforts and community engagement, the Holy Trinity Catholic School PTA plays a vital role in enriching the school environment, enhancing the educational experience for students, and fostering a strong sense of community among parents, teachers, and staff.
