PVG is a great opportunity to become directly involved with the school, through volunteering time and talents. Nunthorpe School and the PVG would like you to join, providing support to the development of the school and bringing a new voice to the school.

Support for PVG can be extremely flexible – from attending PVG run events through to a more active role on the Committee – all help is welcome! PVG have regular meetings which are informal and short in duration. Many ideas are shared such as how fundraising can fit in with the curriculum and how funds could be raised and spent. We also hold an Annual General Meeting at the start of every new academic year.

Our aims are:

Care for the school and all those who work in it;
Fund raise for the school;
Organise social events to bring children, young people, adults and the local communities together;
Provide support for school trips and outings and other special events;
Be a voice within the school – creating a partnership between the school and parents; and
Contribute to the wider community which the school serves.

The PVG is a great way for parents / carers and school staff to become directly involved with the school, through volunteering time and talents.
