Ds is in nursery class, will be starting reception at the same school in Jan 08. It's an inner London community state primary, one form entry, 77% Muslim, high proportion have little or no English when they start school and plenty of coming and going during terms (children I mean). Despite this I am happy for ds to stay there as it is our local school and there are (of course) some brilliant local children and some good teaching - under difficult circumstances. Anyway he loves being in nursery class so far. He goes every morning.
But there's no PTA or anything. Should I complain? Make an appointment with the head? I keep thinking I'll mention it if I see her but haven't seen her all term. I don't want to bother her. (Also I have a baby, am worried that if I make an appointment with the head the baby will just scream and puke everywhere and I won't be able to have a proper talk)... I have no experience of anything like this but surely a PTA / Friends of XX school type thing would only be a good thing?? How would one go about starting one? Any advice appreciated! Thank you! x

Have you ever heard of a school without a PTA? Mine doesn't. Should I start one? How?
