Welcome to BISHOPSTON pta
Bishopston PTA extends a very warm welcome to all parents, friends and carers of pupils at Bishopston Comprehensive School.
The PTA at Bishopston is very active and successful in raising funds for the school, from which all pupils benefit. These funds are used to purchase equipment that will enhance the learning and school environment. Generally purchases made are for items, equipment and facilities that do not fall within the school budget. The ongoing success of the PTA is only possible because of the support received from parents/carers through planning and attending the PTA’s fundraising events and social activities. Meetings are generally held half-termly at 7 p.m. upstairs in the Sports Hall, and are open to any parent/carer who would like to attend.
Being a member of the PTA is a very good way of keeping in touch with everything that is going on at the school. Any help, be it large or small, frequent or infrequent, is always gratefully received!
