What is the PTFA

Who can belong

If you have a child that attends the school or you work at the school you are automatically a member of the PTFA and would be most welcome at any of the meetings, which are held every 4-5 weeks.

How can we find out more

We have a committee of 3 elected roles, Chair, Treasurer and Secretary, we also have class reps who are key contact points for each year group. Generally this contact is over Whatsapp for each year group. The rest of the PTFA is made up of the school community. You can contact any of the committee members via email

We always welcome new ideas to keep events fresh, fun and social.
