Who are the PTFA?
All families are automatically members of our PTFA when their child joins our school. We have a PTFA committee which is made up of a small group of parents and teachers who meet regularly to discuss fundraising initiatives and organise events, and is supported by other parents and school staff who volunteer their time. We welcome any offers of help, ideas or feedback of our events.
What do the PTFA do?
The PTFA raises money for equipment and resources to enhance our children’s education experience and the school’s facilities.
The PTFA also exists to provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal.
How do we raise money?
The majority of our funds are raised through the events we organise during the school year such as:
- School discos
- Summer and Christmas fayres
- Smartie Challenge
- Movie nights
- Wreath Making
We have also been very successful in our grant applications and over the last 3 years have been awarded over £20,000 in national and local grants as well our events raising in the region of £28,000.
This money has been used to fund the following:
- Trim Trail
- Redeveloping an area of the school grounds to create Nields Garden
- Relocation and creation of the library into the porta cabin
- Laptops and Ipads
- Improvement to the Early Years outside area
