What is the PTFA? 

The PTFA (Parents, Teachers & Friends Association) is a team that works with the School and help benefit the children. They are a great way of getting to know other families and staff whilst making a real contribution to the quality of school life for all.

Whilst fund-raising is a major part of a PTFA's activities and directly contributes to the improvement of the school, there's a lot more to it than that. PTFAs provide a great way to build the whole school community, including links with the wider society, all of which benefits the school and offers a positive influence within the local area.  PTFA members also provide a willing workforce for the school when extra hands are needed, hold social events to bond the school community, and support parents through times of change. Members are knowledgeable about the school and enthuse about it to enhance its reputation to the wider community. The varied work means there's something for everyone - it's not just about being on the committee. 

Children love seeing their parents in school. You can benefit them, improve their educational environment and make friends too.
