PTFA
What is a Parent Teachers Friends Association (PTFA)?
Most schools have a Parent Teacher Friends Association (PTFA), which is an organisation of parents, staff and associated people such as grandparents etc. Its role is to encourage closer links between home and school. PTFA's are best known for their fundraising work, but they have a useful social function too. Fundraising events provide an opportunity for parents, staff and pupils to get together.
How is the PTA organised and how can I be involved?
Any member of our school community can be part of our PTFA, and we welcome all new members. We generally hold meetings once during a half term and will send out reminders to all parents of these, in advance. Parents/carers are welcome to help in any way they can – there is no expected commitment. You may not be able to help with an event but contribute in another way for example, donate a prize; make leaflets; bake a cake: we are always very grateful for any help.
How is money raised?
Most PTFA's raise money through events. We may hold disco’s, quiz nights, or cake sales. PTFA’s are always looking for new fundraising ideas and anyone can submit them.
Purpose
The PRFA exists to promote the objectives of the school and helps provide much needed additional funds for items which otherwise would not be available.
