All about us!

Our aim is to foster the wellbeing of the school and to provide links between parents and teachers. We also aim to enhance the financial state of Bryn Offa by providing the children with additional resources and greater opportunities through fundraising activities.

We organise events at school for the benefit of the children as well as raising money. In the past these have included discos, treasure hunts, bingo evenings and cake sales. In the past few years we have purchased many items for the school, including a new art easel for Class 1, aprons for the art room, a play wall in the playground, scientific models, guided reading books and atlas’s. At Christmas time, BOPTA arranges for a visit from Father Christmas and every child in the school gets a present.

We encourage volunteer involvement in BOPTA activities and we act as an important link between the teachers and governors of the school and parents. Being part of the committee is also a great way for parents or carers to make new friends whilst helping to make the children of Bryn Offa have access to additional resources that are outside of the school budget.

Any parent or carer of a pupil at Bryn Offa is automatically a member of BOPTA, and therefore welcome to any meeting and to get involved with our activities.

Please also don’t forget to visit our Facebook Page for upcoming event information and updates! 

BOPTA Constitution

This is a copy of our constitution which was agreed at a meeting on Thursday 20th October 2022.

How we spend the money we raise

We accept requests from staff for items that they think the pupils would benefit from, but the school budget does not allow. We also take ideas from the committee, on what they feel would improve the pupils’ time at Bryn Offa. A selection of the projects we have funded are below. We are always open to new ideas on what we can raise money for.

A new rug for Class 2!

BOPTA purchased a new carpet for Class 2. The children loved it and enjoyed finding different places on the map. Thank you for your continued support that makes this possible.

Coronation Mural

BOPTA helped to fund an amazing opportunity for the pupils to have their work made into a lasting legacy, in the form a mural in the school hall. Mrs Hartland coordinated the project & brought it to life.
