Welcome to Coleridge Families, the heart of the Coleridge Primary School community. We're the school’s PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) and a registered charity, dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our children.
At Coleridge Families, our primary goal is to raise much-needed additional funds to support the school’s ambitions. These funds go towards enhancing the learning experience, improving resources, and ensuring a stimulating environment for both physical and mental well-being. Whether it’s upgrading the playground, funding creative workshops, or boosting technology in the classroom, we’re here to help provide what the school needs to help our children thrive.
But we're more than just a fundraising team. We work closely with school leadership on a wide range of exciting projects, from eco-initiatives that teach sustainability to mental health support programs. It’s about enriching the lives of our students, both inside and outside the classroom, giving them the best possible foundation for academic success and personal growth.
We also believe in the power of community. Coleridge Families organises a variety of events throughout the year – fairs, quiz nights, bake sales, and more – where families, teachers, and students can come together. These moments of togetherness foster a stronger school community, allowing parents and carers to play an active role in their children’s education, and building bonds that support their learning journey.
Whether you’re a parent, carer, teacher, or member of our wonderful local community, there’s a place for you at Coleridge Families. Together, we can make Coleridge Primary School an even better place for our children to learn, grow, and flourish.
Join us, get involved, and help make a difference!
