We welcome parental involvement on our school. The Parent, Teachers and Friends Association are very active both in providing social activities and in fund raising. They regularly organise events including the Summer Fete, fun night at the Big Sheep, Christmas craft Fayre, bingo and other enjoyable fundraising activities. They have provided the school with a range of equipment from computers and printers to playtime toys and books. We are very grateful for their support.

The Chairladies of the PTFA are Julie Roberts and Louise Smale. If you would like to join you will be very welcome. See the class teacher.

There are regular newsletters and letters from PTFA. We try to keep parents informed of the work covered in school so that you can continue to support your child with this work.

Many parents help in school in a variety of ways: recycling paper, working in the classroom, collecting vouchers from classes and sending for free items, helping to run the Scholastic book club, sharing a particular skill with a group of children, pond building, grounds work and accompanying groups on off site activities. The list is endless and we are very grateful for your help. If you do want to work with the children in any of these areas you will need to be CRB checked, forms are available in the office.
