​All Hallows PTA

All Hallows PTA
 
About us
We are a group of like-minded caring parents/guardians that want to give back, to support the school and its students and teachers and make a positive impact on student’s lives.
All parents are welcome to join and support the PTA activities with as much as you can do.  The PTA organises just one event a term to minimise any time required so that should make things easier for you to support the PTA.

PTA Successes
The PTA started in 2019 and have run a series of fun Quiz’s, Bingo evenings, and a Jazz Supper.  We have helped build the schools careers programme and set up Alumni portal.   We raised money to support students at the school.  During lockdown, we were able to provide support to disadvantaged families within our school community.   As we all experienced, things were more challenging during Covid and lockdown, so we adapted and were able to run events online.  We have supported students to participate in the Performing Arts, Creative Arts, part funded the electric car racing, funding for school cups, providing funds for teachers to recognise students amongst many other things.  If you would like to make a donation now, please go to our JustGiving fundraising page here.

PTA Mission statement
“To support the wellbeing of the students at the school”
We will seek to help to create a positive school experience for all current students and work towards forming long-term connections with the alumni.

PTA Strategic Initiatives
• Support a diverse Careers programme
• Raise money and support key initiatives 
• Leverage the talents of the school community, to enhance the school experience and opportunities for students.

As a parent or carer, how can you help?
 
Help us build a diverse Careers Programme
• Talk about your career
• Mentor students
• Take part in the career’s day
• Provide training to students/teachers on your career area
• Give students interview practice (Any involvement with students will be managed through the school in accordance with the schools’ safeguarding policies and procedures).
 
So, if you have a career journey to share, interview techniques to advise on,  you work or study at a university or have experience of being or managing apprentices, we really would like to hear from you and encourage you to sign up via the link. Mr Carney, Careers Lead will then be in touch.
