Info Centre

By regularly seeking the views of our members, the NCPTA has developed a range of resources, which promote current good practice and support the efforts of your association. The Information Centre is a good starting point and signposts you to what is currently available.

We understand that PTAs have a strong focus on making money and running fundraising and social activities, so take a look at the Information sheets that are available, to explain the various aspects of organising successful events and managing your PTA.

There are some legal and constitutional considerations too. Essentials guides you through what may seem like daunting tasks such as charity registration, insurance cover, safeguarding children and health and safety at PTA events.

A booklet for new parents

The NCPTA has devised a template to enable members to write their own Booklet for new parents to welcome them to your school and to introduce them to the PTA. 

This information is intended to be a guide for you to use. You can use it in its entirety or just select the paragraphs that apply to your PTA, editing it as you wish.

PTA handover advice

We often hear from new committee members after taking over the reigns that they find they have no more guidance than a few scribbled notes.

Our Information sheet handover advice  will give you an idea of what to expect  and how to manage your own systems for when you handover, at the end of your term of office.
