PARENTS and carers are being urged to help raise funds for Knox Academy.

The first meeting of the secondary school’s PTA takes place on Tuesday in the school’s library.

A spokesperson for the group encouraged people to head along at 7pm.

They said: “In recent years, the PTA has supported various departments, including providing equipment for PE, online learning platforms for maths, and funding the music licence for the Grease end-of-year show.

“We also assist at school events by serving refreshments.

“Currently, our PTA consists of a small group of dedicated parents, and we need more help to continue fundraising for the school’s additional needs.

“We don’t meet frequently, so if you can spare an hour on Tuesday, we’d love to see you there.”
