The PTA is a registered charity to which all parents of pupils attending the school, are automatically members. The purpose of the PTA is twofold.
- To build relationships between home and school.
- To advance the education of pupils in school.
The PTA meets in school at least once per term. Although a voluntary group of parents and teachers agree to act as PTA trustees each year, all parents are encouraged to attend meetings and take an active role.
Currently the following members are PTA Trustees.
Fiona McLean (Chairperson)
Caroline Paterson (Secretary)
Clare Watt (Treasurer)
Nicola Black
Joanne Cooke
Laura Cuddy
Tanya McMinn
Amy Kelly

We have a continuous flow of funds raised through the Easyfundraising app and the clothing bank situated in Donaghmore village and encourage families and the community to use both. Details of both can be found here.
In the academic year of 2024-25 we had very successful fundraising events such as the Pre-loved Sale held in the Torrent Complex and the Spinathon at Eurospar. We also had success in securing grant funding to assist in the purchase of new ICT equipment, a hotplate, garden furniture and facilitate wellbeing sessions for every child in school. Grant funding also assisted us in the celebration of the schools 90th anniversary in September 2024.
