Friends of Royal Alexandra & Albert School
(Previously the PTA)

The aim of the Friends of RAAS is to raise funds for the school to purchase items that will be of benefit to the pupils across the whole school. In the past we have contributed a wide range of equipment for many of the Departments within the school. For example IT, sports, reading equipment/materials to name but a few.

Becoming involved with the Friends of RAAS is a great way to get to know other parents, relatives & teachers and become more involved in your child's school.

We are a very friendly group who would welcome support & new ideas from all parents, relatives & friends. We meet once, maybe twice each term, at school on a Saturday morning, and would be pleased to see you at any of our meetings.

We arrange a variety of events each year including Family Bingo and Race Nights, Fashion shows, Year 11 Leavers Prom a Summer Ball and a Christmas Fayre. In addition we provide the refreshments stall at the Annual Sports Day.

We always hold a social evening in October to give new parents an opportunity to meet.

Details of our meetings & events are regularly advertised in the school newsletter & on the Friends page of the school website.

Our email address should you wish to contact us is PTAfriends@gatton-park.org.uk
