Parent Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA)
About Our PTFA
Our PTFA is about so much more than fundraising. We’re here to create stronger links between home and school and to bring staff, parents, and carers together in a friendly, supportive, and fun way. While running events does take some organisation, with the amazing support of parents, grandparents, carers, staff—and of course, the children—we look forward to many successful and enjoyable years ahead!
Everyone in our school community is welcome to get involved, even if you only have a small amount of time to spare. We arrange a variety of events throughout the year so that every family has the chance to join in, take part, and feel part of something special.
We organise many fun events throughout the year, including:
- Summer Family Festival
- Diversity Day Disco
- Elfridges Christmas Shop
- Father Christmas Visit
- Mother's Day & Father's Day Gift Shops
- Readathon
- Second-hand Uniform Shop
Meet Our PTFA Committee
We are a small, dedicated group of volunteers who meet regularly to plan, organise and coordinate our community and fundraising activities. We are united by our desire to support the school! Please say hello if you see us in the playground or around town!

How We Use the Funds We Raise
Decisions about how PTFA funds are spent are made together at our meetings, and suggestions are always welcome—from parents, teachers, and children. The items we fund are usually the extra touches that fall outside the school budget but make a big difference to school life. We aim to support all children across the school, whether through small treats such as Christmas gifts or bigger projects developed in partnership with Mrs White. We also fund our annual commitments, including Year 6 leavers’ presents.
You Make the PTFA What It Is
Our PTFA is only as strong as the community behind it. Whether you can share a new idea, spare an hour at an event, or simply offer occasional support, every contribution—big or small—is truly appreciated. Together, the time and energy we give directly benefit our children and help build a warm, connected school community.
