 About the CRSA
Congratulations you are now a member of an organisation that is going to help support your childs' journey through Primary School. The CRSA works alongside Cromer Road School by fundraising and supporting key issues and requests that will help develop and enhance the pupils school experience from Reception to Year Six.Â
Lending a hand with the CRSA can also be a great way to make friends and meet new people. At the same time, you can make a difference and raise lots of money for the school!
The Cromer Road School PTA (CRSA) was founded back in 1999 by a group of parents who wanted to support the school in a more structured way. It is an everyday group of passionate parents and carers, that was created to enhance our children's experience both within and beyond the classroom walls. We're responsible for fundraising and events, while supporting the school and teaching staff. Our Registered Charity Number is 1074964
There is a Board of Trustees who oversee the running of the charity with official roles held for Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, a member of the Senior Leadership Team and a School Governor. Every year a vote takes places to renew or replace for these roles.
