Dear God
Dear Parent/carers,
We hope you've all had a wonderful start to the new school year. We are delighted to let you know that the PTA AGM will take place on Friday 11th October at 9am in the Creative Learning Hub. Everyone is welcome, including little ones and we hope this will be a good opportunity to meet lots of new parents to the school!
We’ll be giving a rundown of the past year’s events, the funds raised and what the money has been spent on. We'll also be discussing plans for the coming year and funding priorities.
This year the Chair and Secretary will be stepping down and new officials will be elected. These positions are open to all and are a great way to get involved with the school. A brief description of each role can be found below. If this all sounds a bit formal, please don’t be put off, it is very much a team effort and this summary is meant to be an information tool, especially for those new to the school or committee!
We would love to see new and old faces - there are many opportunities throughout the year to get involved with volunteering at events, making cakes or simply turning up to socialise with other parents/carers and staff. Your time commitment can be as much or as little as you like.
PTA meetings are usually held once a term and everyone is invited to attend. If you can't make it, please don't worry, we will be in touch following the meeting with all the details and dates for events coming up this year.
Role of PTA Chair The Chair provides leadership and governance for the PTA committee, sets the agenda for meetings and manages meetings in line with the Agenda. This role has significant interaction with the school head, the Treasurer and PTA Secretary.
Role of PTA Secretary Secretary is a key Committee Member as they are responsible for ensuring effective communication links between Committee Members and between the PTA and the School. The Secretary deals with all the correspondence that the PTA receives and helps the Chair ensure that Committee Meetings run smoothly. The PTA Secretary liaises with the School Secretary about any newsletter notices. The Secretary will make arrangements for the Annu-al General Meeting (AGM) and help the Chair prepare the Annual Report. The Secretary may also be involved in co-signing cheques on behalf of the PTA.

Year 5 ‘s House of Commons experience
Year 5 went to the House of Commons on Tuesday 24th September. They were given a tour of the
house and attended a workshop on democracy and debate, linked to their topic ‘Groovy Greeks’. Our
children’s behaviour was exemplary and Miss McLeish and Miss Francis were very proud of them.
Thank you to the parents who supported us on this excellent trip.
We would like to introduce all parents and carers to the external agencies St Jude’s frequently works with. Agnes

quality education, without barriers, for all.

BBC ‘Own It’ - a digital well-being app
The BBC have launched a new app for children called Own It. The app monitors how young people interact
with others online and uses artificial intelligence to evaluate the mood of the child so it can offer advice. For
example, if the child types 'you're really stupid' the app will alert the sender and ask if they really want to
send. It does a lot more and is definitely worth a look. For more information click here:
