Parent, Teachers, Friends Association - A group of parents, staff and members of the school community organising events and fundraising activities to raise money to enhance children’s education.
Why have a PTFA?

The PTA exists to provide closer links between home and school, and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal. It can be fun too!

If you would like to be involved and cannot make either of the meetings, please inform the school and we will keep you informed.
