Who we are and what we do...
Chairperson: Joanne Walker
Secretary: Mhari Breen
Vice Secretary : Denise Caygill
Treasurer: Sophie Taylor
Vice Treasurer: Sam Lyons
We are currently a small group off staff and parent volunteers who's role as the schools PTA is vital in supporting the school to provide the best education and enrichment opportunities possible for your children. The funding and budget the school receives from government is to support only the curriculum – For everything else that’s our simple mission - raise additional cash to enhance the experience for all children, whilst having a bit of fun and making new friends in the process. Meetings are held at school in the evening where we plan for upcoming events and how we will work closely with the staff to spend funds raised on a variety of different projects and enrichment activities. The events themselves are also great fun for the children. The school discos are always popular and the Summer Fair is becoming grander each year.
The group welcomes new members with open arms as the list of jobs grows longer; you can choose your level of involvement to match with the time you can spare. No amount of help is too small and will always be greatly recieved. Please see the ways to get involved page if you would like to help or contact the school office to express your interest.
We work closely with the school to identify ways to enrich what school is able to offer; this includes a broad range of items/experiences.
With the support of the wonderful familes in Coxhoe we hold and organise:
Bake sales
Discos
Film nights
Christmas shopping evenings
Sponsored events
Class challenges
Stalls selling gifts and refreshments at events such as the Christmas performances and Bedtime Stories.
See the main FOCPS page for details of some of the recent things we have been up to.

Community Pantry
We are proud to support our local community pantry who in turn do an amazing job at serving our school family and wider community.

Bag2School
As part of our goal to be kinder to the environment we organise bag2School collections where families and friends can recycle clothing, bedding, towels and other items. The bags are weighed and exchanged for payment that is added to our fundraising total.
Our last Bag2School collection in November 2024 raised £42!
