Our PTA (previously known as Friends of Mill Dam) is an informal group of volunteers, made up of parents and other family members, who help organise social events and fundraising events for the pupils of our school and the local community.
Their aim is to, along with staff, provide fun events for the school and local community, such as discos, bingo nights and more, all in an effort to raise funds for the school and its students. The group is very informal, and meets several times in the year, with meetings usually lasting no longer than an hour. The group is always on the lookout for new members – if you are interested, click the link on the page to register your interest and someone will be in touch!
