Welcome to Friends of Rowlands Gill Primary School
We are a charitable organisation (charity no.1050183) run wholly by volunteers, comprising of parents/carers and grandparents of the pupils at Rowlands Gill Primary School. Through partnership with the school we aim to enhance our children’s school experience by organising after school clubs and events, and through funding special projects.
The PTA relies on willing parents/carers/family members to help out for as little as one hour per month you could help with the following jobs:
- Help on a stall at an event
- Bake a cake
- Distribute event posters
- Secure donations/funding
- Help organise events and projects
- Fundraising ideas
- Use your professional skills to help with the management of the committee
- Join the PTA!
