Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
On behalf of St Cecilia’s PTA, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you all.
We hope that your child’s years at St Cecilia’s will be, like ours, happy ones and that you will want to get involved in supporting the school, through feedback, volunteering, supporting learning at home and helping to raise funds for the school.
We subscribe to ParentKind to support our work with the school by enabling and enhancing:
- effective two-way communication
- supporting learning at home
- involvement in school life
- community engagement
The PTA is made up of parents, friends and teachers who are voted onto the committee at the AGM. The committee then meets regularly throughout the year to discuss ways to fundraise for the school and offer support at various events.
Any parent is welcome to attend any of our meetings or provide much-needed support at any of our events.
Chair - Elizabeth Khan (L) Treasurer - Abi Rylance (R) Secretary: Christian Bjarnram (C)

- Summer fair
- Christmas fair
- Doughnut sales
- School discos
- Movie events
- Quizzes
- Race Nights

- Charity events for Royal Marsden, St Raphael's and the Sutton Foodbank and other charities through the children's Mission Weeks in school

- Plants for the garden area
- Supporting other local charities and school
We could not be this successful without the dedication and commitment of our small team of PTA committee members and volunteers and we would always want to encourage new people with fresh ideas to join us.
If you would like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
