Parent Teacher Association
Emmbrook Junior and Infant schools have a combined PTA. This is an invaluable part of the school team as it successfully raises funds for additional little extras that enhance the children’s lives in both schools.

What does the money raised get used for?
- Every year group has £500 towards the costs of trips or events. This may be used to subsidise a single trip or put towards multiple trips and events.
- During EmmBook week to celebrate world book day all the children participate in drama workshops run by Lou Collins from Theatrikids over the course of the week. The costs of these works shops are covered by PTA funding too.
- Last summer £7500 to the resurfacing of the ground around our trim trail making to accessible and safe for more of the year for all the children.
- This year we are looking to renovate our nurture room to become a safe sensory space for children to use if needed.

PTA Class Representatives
A massive thank you to all those who have agreed to be PTA class representatives. We really appreciate your support.
We are still on the lookout for willing volunteers. please contact us if you are interested.
The Class Representative will share updates and information about upcoming PTA events & initiatives with parents & carers in their child’s class / year (via WhatsApp / Facebook etc…), and feedback thoughts & ideas to the committee. It won’t take up much time at all.
By bringing together a group of Class Reps (at least one Rep from each Class / Year group) we’re hoping to streamline our communications to parents & carers, increase awareness of all the exciting PTA events & activities planned throughout the school year and welcome more friends to our PTA.
Below is the list of reps for each Juniors year group:
- Year 3: Charlotte May & Martha Grime
- Year 4: Holly Galt, Anne-Marie Birch, Emma Campbell & Debbie Waistell
- Year 5: Pam Peers
- Year 6: Sean O’Grady & Sara Bradley
If you’re interested in being a representative for your child’s class or you’d like any more information, we’d love to hear from you.
