Welcome to the PTA section!

PARENTS AT WADDESDON (PAWS)

The purpose of PAWS is to encourage teachers, parents and children to meet together for social and fundraising activities. This is a valuable asset and support for the school. The main aim is to support the work of the school and to develop home-school links thereby enabling your child to receive the best from their education.

As a parent you are welcome to attend informal meetings during the year and each September a committee is elected. The committee organises a variety of functions throughout the year, which help to raise funds for extra resources for the school. PAWS have provided a huge range of valuable resources over the years including books, video, music stands, climbing frame, tricycle, chairs and benching in the ICT suite, Friendship Stops and the list goes on. They have organised discos, quiz nights, hot dog and ice-lolly days, fashion shows and raffles.

PAWS need your support to continue this valuable contribution to your child's education.

Community Links

"We aim to inspire a passion for lifelong learning"

The link between parents and the school is vital for the children, and the community. Parental involvement is both encouraged, supported and appreciated by all staff and governors.

There are regular courses for people of all ages to learn new skills and support their child or grandchild's education. These courses involve literacy, numeracy, computer skills, languages and one-off events such as the 'make a go-kart day'.
