Our school runs on the support of our families, parents, guardians, grandparents, volunteers and there are always opportunities to get involved if you’d like to, whether you have the occasional hour or a regular half a day. 

Ways to get Involved

• Accompany one of our learning walks, which bring learning to life for example when learning about WW1, the children walked in the footsteps a soldier once walked before enrolling, and found his name on the village memorial. 
• Do you have job that you can bring to school that fits with a current topic, perhaps a science experiment or an art project you’d like share?
• Attend forest school as a supporting adult (regular weekly or bi-weekly 2.5 hours)
• Attend our Celebration Assemblies and share our achievements. 
• Reading with children in school (1-2hrs a week)
• Make tea and cake for events such as the celebration assembly. 
• Attend the swimming trip as a supporting adult (2hrs per week)
• Gardening – we love our grounds, but they often need a tidy up and re-planting, help is always appreciated here.

Parent Teacher Association

Who we are

As a parent of a child who attend Long Wittenham CofE Primary School you are automatically a member of the Long Wittenham Parent-Teacher Association (LWPTA), as are all teaching and non-teaching staff and the school governors. You can be as involved as you would like to be. Come along and support events, help at events and/or come along to meetings to help plan and prepare for our events.

What we do

The LWPTA organises fundraising events throughout the school year in order to raise funds for specific projects and/or to help subsidise school events such as a trip to the Panto! The aim of our fundraising is to enhance the education offered to children attending our school. We are currently fundraising to replace certain items of the school playground. To find out more, please speak to any committee member or come along to the next meeting.

How often do we meet?

The committee meets at least once a term. In additional sub-teams will meet to plan events as required. 

How do I join?

Please email the chair of the PTA at Chair@lwpta.onmicrosoft.com or come along to the next meeting and let us know how you would like to help! Details of PTA meetings will be shared through parent communications.

If you have an interest in how the school is run and working alongside school leaders to contribute towards the policies, budgeting, strategy and staffing side of school, why not join the Local Governing Board. See our Governance page for more details.
