The P.T.A. committee is a group of parents whose aim is to support, both financially and physically, the work of the school. We have three teacher representatives on the P.T.A. who attend our meetings in addition to a member of the Senior Leadership Group.


The P.T.A. usually meets on the first Monday of each month, during term time in the library. The meetings usually last 1-1½ hrs and refreshments are provided. Click here to see current meeting dates.

We raise money by organising various functions and events throughout the year. In the past these have included auctions, discos, summer fairs, quiz nights and an Abba Tribute Band evening. Due to safety considerations, the annual bonfire night has had to be removed from our schedule but we replaced this event recently with a Christmas Fair and hope to arrange a Summer Fair for early July.

As well as fund-raising events, the PTA also support parent/teacher consultation evenings, school plays and meetings of the Deanery Synod providing drinks and light refreshments.

We collect computer printer ink cartridges throughout the year, which are then recycled and the money sent to the P.T.A. through a company called "Recycle It".

We also provide another recycling service during the year - school uniform. Uniform that is either no longer required or too small can be donated to the P.T.A and we then sell it on at New Parents' Evening or throughout the year, when requested by parents.

To be a member of the PTA committee you need to be a parent or guardian of a current Blue Coat pupil. This requirement means that inevitably each year we lose people as their children leave Blue Coat.

The PTA commitee is always looking for new members to maintain its numbers. New members also bring with them new ideas and enthusiasm, so please feel free to come along to our meetings.

Dates are shown in the monthly school newsletter - "Headlines" which can be viewed on line.
