Get Involved!
We are always keen to hear from parents and relatives that want to be involved; from organising events and chaperoning the disco, to selling second-hand uniform on the playground, all help is invaluable. Perhaps you have contacts that can help make our events extra special? We’d love to see new faces, spread the word about what we are doing and raise more funds for our school and our children!
If you have any questions or are interested in helping support the PTFA, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
