Anyone who has an interest in supporting us is automatically a member of the PTA, including:
Parents and carers of current, former, and future Torridon pupils
Teachers and support staff
Friends and extended family members
Neighbours and business leaders
Want to support our school community by raising funds or volunteering? YOU'RE a member of the PTA! We all have a role to play, and together we can create an active, inclusive community in which our children can learn and thrive.
A board of volunteer trustees who are elected after each Annual General Meeting lead the PTA. Together, trustees are responsible for the charity's governance: managing the finances; ensuring we follow relevant laws, regulations, and best practice; and overseeing our strategic direction. Trustees also support the fantastic volunteers who lead the events we host throughout the year.
Mom to Emmaline (6LG) and Tom (3A), Megan is from Little Rock, Arkansas. She moved to London in 2008 after a stint in Japan, where she met her British husband Adam. She has worked as a charity executive and freelance graphic designer. Megan enjoys making spreadsheets and taking deep dives into whatever project she's working on, usually related to home renovation, international travel, or the PTA.
Mum to Bjorn (6L) and Lovisa (5H), Teresa is from Sweden and is a programme manager in international development. After four years in Mozambique, she and her family returned to Catford two years ago. Having enjoyed being part of their previous school's community, she joined Friends of Torridon soon after arriving and has been active ever since.
Mum to Otis (1W), Sarah works for the LEGO Group’s Social Responsibility team and is a strong advocate for learning through play. Sarah enjoys engaging with fellow parents, recruiting volunteers and organising events so it's a great fit!
Dad to Nina (Yellow Reception), Alex works for a London local authority trying to make their digital services better. Before that he ran his own web company working with record labels, food and drinks brands, and charities. He's excited to join the PTA and wants to find out more about all the amazing things Torridon parents can do.
Whatever time you have to give and wherever your skills and interests lie, there's a role for you in the PTA!
