PTA Welcome
Borderbrook School PTA is an active part of the school, raising funds to support the children with their education. The PTA have most recently helped to purchase a CleverTouch screen for the Foundation Classroom, donating £1500 towards the cost. The children are finding this equipment so beneficial in their classes, using it for their phonics lessons, writing and spelling,and for registration. It is now an integral and essential part of their classroom lessons.
The PTA meets regularly to plan and discuss events. Funds raised subsidise transport costs and provide 'extras' to enrich the curriculum. It is not essential to come along to the meetings, our parents and community can help in many other ways too.
All parents are automatically members and we welcome any members of the community who are keen to support their local school.
