Annual PTA Survey 2018
The results of our Annual Return survey are in, and they really do demonstrate what an incredible force for good you all are in schools throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
A piece in the Sunday Times (Sunday 17th February) praises the work of the ‘Parent Army’ and highlights the huge impact that you as parent volunteers are having in our schools. This article is based on the findings taken from over 1,000 of your responses to our Annual Return.
We cannot emphasise how very proud we are of all our member PTAs — your ongoing commitment and hard work and the difference you make to the children in your school. We are sure that you will be too.
