The Friends of Mere School PTA

Welcome to the ‘The Friends of Mere School’ where our aim is to enhance the workings of our school and strive to ensure that all the children benefit from its activities and fundraising.

The PTA has a programme of fundraising events which take place throughout the year including Bingos, Discos, the summer Fayre and Santa’s Grotto at Christmas. One of our most successful events was an Auction of Promises which raised nearly £3000.

Our yearly aim is to pay for all of the children in school to go to the Pantomime in Salisbury just before Christmas. We also like to focus on a particular project each year. So far this year we are over half way to raising enough money to purchase 30 portable Lap Tops for the Children to use in class.

All parents and carers of children at School are automatically voting members of the PTA and as such are warmly invited to attend any of the regular PTA meetings which take place in the school staff room on the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30pm. Representatives of the teaching staff plus the PTA members meet to discuss current issues and forthcoming social and fundraising events. The PTA committee is elected at our AGM which takes place in May.  Parents and carers are welcome to become involved with the PTA either as part of the committee or on a more informal basis by helping at one of our events.  We have a PTA notice board outside Blue Class where all information regarding events and meetings are displayed.
