Community and Parent-Teacher Association

Carden has always played an important role at the heart of our local community. Within the school community the Parent-Teacher Association (the PTA) plays a vital role to support the school to provide the best opportunities possible for our pupils.

Another key element of the PTA is building relationships – across the school and with the local community – through events, sponsorships, and local press coverage.

Every parent and carer is part of the Carden PTA; all are welcome to come to PTA planning meetings and share their ideas and feedback with Year Group Representatives. Being part of the PTA is a rewarding experience: building confidence, learning new skills, and developing new friendships.

Every year, the PTA raises thousands of pounds and gives many hours of volunteer-time to support Carden’s fantastic pupils in all kinds of ways. Parents and carers get involved in all kinds of ways and the Carden community is so much richer for it.

 

Upcoming PTA community events

Carden Primary PTA work really hard to bring fun and exciting events to the school and community each year. Some of these events are just for fun, whilst others raise vital funds to enhance the school experience for the children.

 

Here are some of the events we have planned for 2024 / 2025. Keep checking back for updates!

 

Carden Fireworks: Friday 14th November 5pm – 7pm

Our bi-annual Fireworks Night is one of the highlights of the school calendar and always a sell-out event! Families and friends from across the community come together for an evening of fun, food and fantastic fireworks. There will be plenty of delicious hot meals and sweet treats to enjoy, drinks to keep everyone warm and a range of glow items for children (and adults!) to light up the night!

The evening ends with an incredible professional firework display that never fails to impress. It truly is a magical event that brings our whole school community together.

Tickets available NOW on ParentPay – £5 each (under 4s go free)

Community tickets available via SeeTickets here.

 

Christmas Fete: Saturday 6th December 2pm – 4pm

Our Christmas Fete is a joyful celebration that brings festive cheer to the whole school community. Families can enjoy a wonderful mix of seasonal games, prizes, music and merriment as we countdown to the holidays. With a warm and welcoming atmosphere, plenty of opportunities for fun and a touch of Christmas magic, this is an event not to be missed!

 

 

Our fantastic events can only happen with the incredible support of our school and wider community. Every fair, picnic, and celebration is made possible by the time, effort, and generosity of volunteers, local businesses, and families like yours. Whether you can spare a little time to help, offer sponsorship, or donate prizes and resources, every contribution makes a huge difference. If you’d like to get involved, we’d love to hear from you – together, we can continue creating wonderful experiences for our children and families! Contact us at cardenpta@outlook.com
