P.T.A.
We have a very active PTA at East Borough, and we put on a variety of events throughout the year for our children and parents / carers to raise funds, which are used to enhance the environment and learning experiences for the children. We are pleased to be able to work in partnership with the school to achieve our aims.
Through this page on our website, you will be able to access information about our committee meetings, both in the form of agendas for forthcoming meetings and minutes of previous meetings, our calendar of events, and newsletters to keep you updated on what we have achieved and what is going on.
We always appreciate new ideas and feedback, so feel free to contact us, or to come along to a meeting or event. If you would like to get involved but are worried about how much you can do, please don’t be! Nothing is too onerous, and there are always people on hand to answer any queries you may have...
- Emily Mandal - Chair
- Nikki Brooker – Vice Chair
- Catherine Crowhurst – Secretary
- Sally Anne Ponton – Treasurer
All new volunteers are very welcome, come along and be part of our team. Please visit our Facebook page to see details of events and to volunteer.
We have picked up our fundraising efforts with renewed energy this academic year and have been exploring different ways of generating income for the school. With more of us shopping online we wanted to share with you 2 very easy ways of raising significant funds just by shopping for your normal items in more or less the normal way.
Since August 2021, Amazon smile has raised over £158 with only 78 supporters – if more people were to come on board, this could easily raise over £1,000 a year without having to lift a finger. We wish to make it clear this in no way increases the cost of the items you purchase. You are simply indicating which charity you support and directing Amazon to pay 0.5% of the net purchase price to us from their pocket.
In a time where we are all stretched, we really appreciate your ongoing support. Look out in the School Bulletin for regular updates on amounts raised so far.
The minutes of our meetings are downloadable at the bottom on the PTA Minutes and Meetings page.
We look forward to your continued support.
Thank you

Thank you to the PTA families who brightened our school playgrounds this holiday!
A huge thank you to the members of our PTA who gave up some of their time in the Easter Holiday to help improve the environment for the children. They spent the day at East Borough painting the benches, fences and woodwork to brighten up the playgrounds.
