Who we are
We're a registered charity (No. 1103329) run entirely by volunteers with support from school staff. Anyone who wants to support us is welcome to get involved as much or as little as they like. There's no sign up process or membership fee.
Anyone who has an interest in supporting us is 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!
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.

Over the last 5 years we have invested over £50,000 in the school and paid over £7,000 to support vulnerable families.
