The Parent and Friends Association work tirelessly on behalf of the school. It has a major part to play in the raising of valuable funds to buy curriculum items for the school. Each year the PFA commits money raised to provide the extras that enrich the children's education. Funding goes towards projects such as the upkeep of the environmental garden, playground equipment, computers, class cameras and extra classroom equipment. It also provides financial support for school trips or visiting groups, leavers parties and any other needs of the school directly affecting the children.
To help the PFA in raising funds it has a subscription of £10 per family per term.
This subscription means that the PFA has been able to cut back on the small events which were not cost effective, and concentrate on social events for the families without the need to make as much money as possible. In this way its functions contribute towards the community spirit of the school.
The Committee is run by a Chairman and its size is very flexible. Each class has a parent representative on the Committee. It is the role of these Reps. to keep parents informed of events, sell tickets for them and try to get volunteers for the class when needed.
The school is very dependent upon the PFA and fully supports the work done by the hard working volunteers. A book showing its past contributions to the school is on display in the Entrance Hall.
