PTA
We are a Registered Charity dedicated to raising money to enhance school facilities. Budgets are so tight that the school is becoming more reliant on PTA funds to enhance the children's learning.
We also support the school in any way we can and arrange fun events for the kids, parents and teachers. The more volunteers we have, the more we can do.
Who we are
Every parent who has a pupil at St Lawrence is automatically part of the Parent Teachers Association for the school. There are a few positions that have to be voted in at the AGM each year to meet the constitution.

Co-Chair - Melissa Cooper I have three children at St Lawrence and I’m delighted to be co-chair alongside Natalie. Being part of the PTA truly feels like a privilege – and it’s important to remember that everyone in our school community is part of the PTA too. I’m always here for a chat, so please feel free to come and talk to me anytime. It’s a joy to support the school and help raise funds that make a real difference for our children throughout the year.

Co-Chair - Natalie Dale I feel very honored to be part of the PTA as co-chair with Melissa. This is such a wonderful school and community and it's a privilege to be able to help. I have three children, two currently in the school, Ethan and Sebbie. I am always delighted to speak to parents who want to volunteer their time or money, and welcome new ideas. |

Treasurer - Lee Manzi Father to Rosabella & Luka (now at secondary school) and Arlo (Year 5). I am thrilled to be part of the PTA and contribute to the vital work it does in supporting our children's educational experience and resources. Ever tightening school budgets means our support is needed more than ever before. |

Secretary - Emily Armstrong I'm a mummy to two children at St Lawrence, Theo and Ellierose. Being the PTA secretary is an honour and something I take great pride in; it's meaningful to contribute to our school.

Rob Vosper Father to Celia-Rose and Hettie. Its a pleasure to have joined the PTA, and to be part of the remarkable St Lawrence community. I hope to contribute in a way that enriches not only our childrens' school experiences today, but also those fortunate enough to call St Lawrence Primary their school in the future. |

Nick Milnes I live in Wrotham, and have two sons at the school, Ted and Sebastian. I'm looking forward to helping the vital work undertaken by the PTA in assisting the school in projects and endeavours that will benefit everyone involved in the school. |
