All parents automatically become members of the PTA when their children join St. Aidan's. There is a Management Committee of approximately 45 parents and staff. The AGM is held at the end of September and everyone is welcome to join the Committee. If you are unable/do not wish to join the Committee, you are very welcome to join our Helpers' List. The Chairman for 2007/2008 is Karen Stobert, with last year's Chairman, Alison Reece, assisting her as the Vice Chairman. They can both be contacted via school
