Parents strongly support the school. They value the welcoming environment in which their children learn effectively and feel happy.
Ofsted
Parent Teacher Association
Down Ampney C of E Primary School’s PTA brings together parents, teachers and others to raise funds to help the school offer many exciting educational experiences, as well as fun activities for the children. Our meetings are held in the school and everyone is welcome to come along and share ideas
The PTA is a registered charity and hold regular fundraising events throughout the year. In the past few years we have organised some great fundraisers to include our Sponsored Bike ride which involved other small schools in the area, a Family Fun day, Reindeer and Easter trails in the village and a firm favourite for both the school and villagers is our Christmas in the Community event.
As well as fundraising, we also support the incredible extra-curricular work of the primary school staff, such as making and serving dinner and breakfast for school sleepovers, serving drinks at school events and helping out with projects around the school.
The money raised by the PTA contributes to many different things at the school, including buses for trips, new book bags, New books/Atlases, supporting Young Voices and the Pantomime to name a few.
If you feel you have a little time to spare and you’d like to get involved, please do not hesitate to contact the school office or email pta@downampney.gloucs.sch.uk
