Welcome to the 'Friends' page. 

The Friends (Parent, Teacher & Friends Association), is a group of Parents, members of the Community, Governors and Staff who come together to help raise funds and support the School to help make the school the best it can be. 

Our main objective is to advance the education of the pupils in the School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for education at the school (not normally provided by the Local Education Authority).

Who are we?

We are all volunteers that care about our children's education and helping to enrich their school experience. Some of the benefits of volunteering are:

• Improve the school’s facilities, community spirit and partnership with parents
• Socialise and get to know each other whilst taking part in a range of activities
• Find out more about how the school works, developing effective partnerships with the teaching and non-teaching staff
• Fundraise for extra items or services to enrich the children’s education
• Increase your own knowledge and skills
• Give those with a parenting role a voice in education

Get Involved! 

The PTFA offers a varied calendar of fundraising and community events. It organises activities that are fun for children of all ages and their families. 

All parents, carers and grandparents are welcome to join as volunteers or active committee members at any time. If you have any questions or would like to get involved, please get in touch by email or via the FaceBook Group. (Link below)

Our AGM is being held on the 19th October at the Eliot Arms. Come along and have some fun!
