PTFA Information

Welcome to your Parent, Teacher and Friends Association page. As a parent or carer for a child at Princetown Community Primary School, you are automatically part of the PTFA, so congratulations on your enrolment to the team!

The PTFA meets every two or three months to discuss ways that we can give the children in the school an “added value” experience. We raise money to do this through organising events, such as coffee mornings or fairs, and building links with community groups. We try to put on a fund-raising event once every term to bring in the finances to provide opportunities for the children to have new and varied experiences.

We seek to make a difference in the school in physical and social ways. We have funded the purchase of a set of sports kits, so that children involved in inter-school competitions can proudly wear Princetown School colours when they represent the school. We also raised sufficient funds for a whole school visit to the Aquarium. Pay towards residentials for KS2, new outdoor equipment for KS1. We pay for coaches to take the children swimming and much more.

Through these and other plans, we hope that the children who attend Princetown Primary will leave the school with lots of happy memories, and more experiences than perhaps they would otherwise have had. We believe that this will help to add to their confidence and self-belief, and set them up for a great future.

If you would like to learn more about what we do, and how you might be able to help in the work of the PTFA, please speak to Miss Howard in the School office (contact details also on the “Contact Us” tab of the website) or Sheila Manning at smanning@andaras.org
