PLAYGROUND SOS!
Roath Park Primary Runners are you ready?
Our Cardiff school really needs a Playground Makeover!
You can help!
Sponsor a child or family to run the Family 2k the day before the Cardiff Half
Sponsor a Child taking part in the Cheer Squad or sponsor one of our grown-up runners attempting to run the whole 13.1 miles! Every penny counts and every child will benefit.
Adults running the Cardiff Half and wanting to take part in our fundraiser need to email pta@roathparkprm.co.uk to join our GoFundMe team. You can join our social running group on Strava and we will also meet up for social runs to help you train.

Summer Fayre 2019
Thank you to everyone who came to the Fayre and made it such a special event. We couldn't have pulled it off without the support of all the parents, teachers and families attending, donating and helping.
...
We are delighted to announce the profit from the Summer Fayre was an amazing £2309.98. What a fantastic achievement. Money raised will go towards projects in school which will also be announced at a later date. So far as a PTA we have donated money towards many different areas in school. Please come to our meetings so you can have a say! It's your child's school and we need everyone's opinion to make informed decisions.
Our next events after summer are the Cardiff Family 2k/Half Fundraiser and Bingo Night!
These events are open for everyone and we will be confirming a meeting soon to organise them. If you would like to be involved please come along to our meeting or if you can't please email your suggestions through to pta@roathparkprm.co.uk, Facebook or message us here 
Katherine, Bláthnaid, Jo, Tim and Hannah.
EGM - Charity Status
The PTA meeting is on Thursday 9th May, 7.15pm in The Corner.
We will be sharing the model constitution we hope to adopt - the first step to registering as a charity. Also Summer Fayre planning- which will be lots of fun!
We really need to you come to this!
If we don't have enough parents present, the vote to adopt the constitution won't be valid!
The constitution has been developed by Parentkind in association with the Charity Commission - especially for PTAs.
There will be no major changes in how we do things, we will still run the same fundraisers and socials. But becoming a charity means we can apply for match funding and gift aid, boosting the amount we can raise for the school.
