Valley Primary School PTA (Parent Teacher Association)

Welcome to the Valley PTA page. In order to find out about the actual administration and function of the PTA you will find below a document outlining the main objectives of our Parent Teacher Association, and a description of the various roles and responsibilities.

If you want the (fairly) short explanation, read on.

Essentially we are a group of parents/carers & staff who work together to share ideas and information, fundraise for the school and hopefully simultaneously help reinforce our school community. If you are a playground regular, you’ll probably have come to recognise the PTA committee members, we’re the ones running back & forth from the PTA shed with bags of uniforms, toys, books etc; staffing the Wednesday stall, or approaching you with a big smile, clipboard in hand to ‘invite’ you to help at our next fundraiser. In fact, you know you’re really on the PTA when people start avoiding you around Christmas & Summer fair time!

Joking aside, along with the school teaching and office staff, we work really hard to try and create the best learning/playing environment for our children, and we cannot do this without your help. So, thank you to those of you who don’t run a mile when you see us coming and give your time to help at events, and to those of you who bake for our cake sales, donate to our fairs/stalls or just turn up to our events. There are 15 people on the actual Committee, but if you help in any way, however small you are in the PTA, we are just: People Taking Action.

If you want to be more involved please either contact us on our PTA email address: valleyptabromley@hotmail.com or find one of us for a chat!

Our next event will be the PTA Summer Fair which will take place on Saturday 5^th July from 11:30am-4pm. Please come along to enjoy live music, inflatables, games, food, a bar and much more! Tickets are available via classlist or on the door (£1 for adults, children go free).

We'll also be drawing our summer raffles with prizes including a £200 Love2Shop voucher, a family day-out on the Thameslink rail network, and vouchers for many fantastic local businesses (including the Artful Duke, Toast, Cuppa Chai, Wells Flowers, Mozart Barbers) and hampers with a selection of local crafts and produce. Thanks to Micro Scooters, our raffles this year also boast some amazing scooter and bike accessories as prizes. The family-founded brand is celebrated for its colourful range of scooters and safety helmets.
