INTRODUCING LPS PTA

PTA @ LPS is, of course, all of us—parents, families, teachers and the wider community, we come together as a team, the key elements of what we do…

T—teamwork (our families, school staff, the Ledbury community)

E—enthusiasm, for planning fun events, improving facilities and increasing opportunities                                     for the children

A—acceptance, of different views, opinions and needs

M—motivation, to ‘make things happen’ (even when it’s not easy)

It’s a simple name; usually the best things are!

NEWS

We as a PTA have strived to raise funds for the school.  This year we have and still are putting all of our efforts into not only raising funds to upgrade our KS1 outside area, but also helping you, our families out financially.

Our school strongly believes in fostering positive relationships within the local community.  We recognise the importance of collaboration and the benefits that it brings to our children and the community as a whole.  We actively seek opportunities to engage with local community organisations, businesses and the residents to create a meaningful partnership, collaborating with the community, we aim to enrich our children's educational experiences by offering real-world learning opportunities, mentorship programs and community service initiatives.  Additionally, we are committed to contributing to the improvement of the community through organised events, fundraisers and volunteering efforts.  Together, as a school and community, we strive to create a supportive and inclusive environment that empowers our students to thrive academically, socially and personally.  Making visits to places that add to children's learning is a valuable part of their learning.

We have successfully gained donations to pay for a number of our school trips and activities this year.  I am pleased to tell you that we have secured donations for nearly all of our Summer trips this year, so any payments you have made, with the exception of the Year 6 Malvern Priory trip, will be refunded to you in due course.

We would like to thank the following for their donations, Linthwaite Ltd, Texaco Ledbury, Schmersal Ltd, Shormil - Ledbury Holdings, Ledbury Welding, Appliance Solutions, Amcor, TWS (GB) Ltd, Barratt Homes, Clubsport, Serenity, The Courtyard Theatre, The Beefy Boys, Eastnor Castle, Bodymods, Ludlow Distillery, Westons, Play Planet, GWS Railway, Cotswold Wildlife Park, Flip Out, Blue Diamond and The Jockey Club.

We have three more events booked for this academic year, The Circus (2nd June), The Dog Show (29th June) and our School "Olympic themed" Carnival (12th July).  We hope that you will be able to join us for all three of these events, they are open to the whole community, so please encourage your friends and family to come along and see what LPS PTA organises for everyone.

Our next PTA meeting is on Tuesday 11th June 2024 at 6.00pm in the school staff room, I hope as many of you as possible will be able to attend, without your help we will not be able to arrange all of the fantastic opportunities for you and your child/ren.

Thank you to everyone who has attended and supported our events. Whether you have come along to events, donated funds, baked cakes, given raffle prizes or helped on stalls etc...it’s all appreciated and we’ve had more support, from parents, families and the wider community, than ever before.

Please don’t forget all our events are open to the whole Ledbury community. Please let your families and friends know of events and bring them too. We advertise all our events across Ledbury so please support us with helping us spread the word. The more successful our events, the more money we raise for kit not covered by the school budget—and the more fun we have!
