St. Mary’s Parent Teacher Friends Association

St. Mary’s PTFA is made up of parents, teachers and friends of the school.  We are a registered charity. The PTFA aims to organise events and activities that:

• Raise money to benefit all of the children within the school
• Create and maintain a fun sense of community within the school
• Build and maintain relationships with the local community
• Support the school in promoting the values the school uphold

The monies raised by the PTFA have been used in the past to enhance the school’s facilities for the children. These have included:

• Stage for performances
• Sound system
• Whole school panto performance(annually)
• Outdoor reading/quiet area
• Playhouse for EYFS
• An Easter egg for every child (annually)
• Reading books to invigorate school reading system
• School memento and party for the Year 6 leavers (annually)

The PTFA works through sub teams and committees organising selected events that align with the above aims. These activities are only limited by our imagination as a school and the amount of time that our volunteers have. Please feel free to get involved; whether it’s offering to volunteer events, join the committee, help with fundraising or fundraising ideas.
