Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to the new academic year at Mangotsfield School.  It has been a pleasure to once again welcome students and their parent/carers into Year 7.  We also welcome our new sixth form students.  I am pleased to report that all students have made a great return to school and the new students are already settling in well.

Exam Success

We offer congratulations to our students in Year 11 who achieved the best ever Mangotsfield results this year, continuing the improving trend of recent years....

Mangotsfield School PTA

Partnership Through Action

Our PTA is an active and vibrant group of parents, carers, teachers who work together in support of the school.  Whilst many PTAs exist largely as fund-raising organisations we pride ourselves on having a wider remit and play an integral role in school life.

  • We help to improve communication between parents and staff by providing opportunities for discussion, offering feedback and distributing information.
  • We are often the first point of call for parents to ask questions and teachers regularly consult with us on new ideas and policies.
  • We facilitate school events by providing refreshments and manpower.
  • We operate a school uniform service.
  • We organise fund-raising activities including car-boot sales, quiz nights and run “Casa Mango” which produces Mexican style food at local festivals.

Using the Funds We Raise

 

Our funds are used to help purchase equipment that cannot be provided for within the school's official budget. Sometimes we concentrate our efforts on a large item such as the new screen and digital projectors in the school hall but recently we have supported a number of smaller projects. Over the last year we have funded the following items:

  • Two good quality school team rugby kits with logo
  • Art materials to support the delivery of a KS3 art club
  • Expedition Items in support of the introduction of the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award
  • Concorde Book Award texts for a pupil reading group (Yrs. 7&8)
  • Kit Cars Sponsorship
  • Netball team jackets
  • School Awards/Prizes
Car Boot Sale

New Members and New Ideas Welcome!

 

Dates for all our meetings can be found on the calendar sent home at the beginning of the year (available on the website here) All parents are invited to attend these but even if you can't make the meetings we are always looking for volunteers to help out at other times. Our meetings are very informal, our events good fun and both are a good way of getting to know other parents and teachers as well as raising funds. Please feel free to contact us via the School Office if you'd like to be involved or to know more.
