Parents & Citizens Association

Lets CARE for our kids and school, while we SHARE the work and responsibility

The Parents &Citizens Association (P&C) is run independently from the school. Membership is open to all family members, from parents and carers to grandparents, uncles and aunts, teachers and interested community members.

The Beckenham Primary School P&C aims to:

• Support the school
• Promote parent participation
• Encourage strong community support

We achieve our aims by:

• Providing a platform to bring parents, citizens, students and teaching staff together
• Giving parents an opportunity to be informed of all school activities>
• Providing a forum for parents to discuss and debate school issues
• Organising events and activities to promote a sense of school community
• Contributing to the school’s resources through various fundraising events and activities
• Involving parents in discussing how the money raised is spent

All members of the P&C are volunteers and contribute by:

• Running school banking
• Helping at school events and activities
• Fundraising events and activities such as;
  • Pizza lunches
  • The Mother’s and Father’s Day and Christmas stalls
  • Raffles

The P&C meets twice a term and also produces a regular newsletter to keep you informed.

Anyone can join the P&C and we welcome any community member who would like to help in any way. You may only have a spare hour or two, you may not be able to help regularly. That’s OK, simply come along when you can.
