How Parents Can Get Involved

At Hurst Green Primary School, we believe in the power of community and the vital role that parents and families play in supporting their children's education.

We warmly welcome and encourage all parents to get involved in the life of our school, as we firmly believe that when we work together, we can unlock the limitless potential within each child.

Hearing Children Read

One of the most impactful ways you can support your child's learning is by volunteering to hear them read. By dedicating just a small amount of time each week, you can make a significant difference in a child's literacy development and confidence. Our teachers will provide you with the necessary guidance and resources to ensure you feel equipped to support your child's reading journey.

Parent-Teacher Association (PTA)

Our vibrant and active PTA is always looking for new members to join their team. As part of the PTA, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate with other parents and staff to organise exciting events, fundraise for school improvements, and contribute to the overall enrichment of our school community. Whether you can offer your time, skills, or ideas, we'd love for you to be a part of this rewarding initiative.

Helping Out at School Events

Throughout the year, we host a variety of events and celebrations that bring our school community together. From sports days and art exhibitions to seasonal fairs and performances, we rely on the support of our dedicated parent volunteers to make these occasions a success. If you're able to lend a hand, even for a short period of time, we'd be delighted to have you on board.

Sharing Your Skills and Expertise

Do you have a special talent or area of expertise that you'd like to share with our children? Whether you're a budding artist, a passionate gardener, or a technology enthusiast, we'd love for you to share your skills and knowledge with our students. You could lead a workshop, run an after-school club, or even assist in the classroom, helping to bring our curriculum to life and inspiring our children to explore new interests and develop their talents.

Using Your Workplace for Community Service

Many of our parents work in local businesses and organisations, and we encourage you to explore opportunities to engage your workplace in supporting our school. Perhaps your employer would be willing to sponsor a school event, donate resources, or even allow you to volunteer during work hours to support our children. By tapping into the resources and expertise of our wider community, we can create enriching experiences that go beyond the classroom walls.

Running an After-School Club

Do you have a hobby or interest that you'd like to share with our children? Consider leading an after-school club! Whether it's coding, coding, sports, or crafting, your passion and enthusiasm can help our children discover new passions and develop important life skills. We'll provide the space and resources, and you can bring your creativity and energy to inspire our students.

Getting Involved

We believe that by working together, we can create a truly exceptional educational experience for our children. If you're interested in volunteering or getting involved in any way, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) or the school office. We'd be delighted to discuss how you can contribute to the Hurst Green Primary School community and help us bring our vision and values to life.

Together, we can empower our children to reach their full potential, cultivate a sense of social responsibility, and make a lasting impact on our community and beyond.
