What is the PTFA ?

The PTFA (Parent Teacher and Friends Association is an organisation of parents, staff and friends of Teversham Primary School. Its role is to encourage closer links between home and school, fundraise for the school and create an opportunity for parents, staff and pupils to get together.

How is the PTFA organised?

Any parent/carers of Teversham Primary School can join the PTFA.

We hold an AGM once a year to elect a committee. 

We usually meet once a term and set up smaller working groups to organise individual events.

We are very happy to welcome new members - just let us know! Whether you would like to get involved in meetings and planning events, or are simply able to offer a small amount of help manning a stall or supervising a disco, we are very grateful for any support you may be able to give. 

How is money raised?

Most of our fundraising is done through events such as the Christmas fayre, summer fete, discos, cake sales, movie nights etc.

How is money spent?

Funds raised by the PTFA are intended to provide “extras” not already provided by the school's main income – often 'fun things' that make learning more interesting and exciting. The PTFA committee and the head teacher decide how to spend funds raised. 

This year, the PTFA has helped to fund a number of initiatives and experiences for our pupils.

Their contributions enabled the school to purchase a class set of iPads to support teaching and learning across the curriculum. The PTFA also funded a travelling pantomime company, allowing all children to enjoy a special performance at school. Our Year 6 leavers' hoodies were paid for by the PTFA, giving pupils a memorable keepsake as they prepare to move on to secondary school.

In addition, the PTFA helped to reduce the cost of school trips for families by covering 50% of coach transport costs.

While fundraising remains a key part of what the PTFA does, it has also been a year filled with enjoyable events that have brought our school community together. From organising activities and events to creating opportunities for families to connect, the PTFA has ensured that there has been plenty of fun along the way.

Upcoming Events

Once the PTFA has met in September we will notify you of the Autumn term events that we have planned. Please feel free to come and join us for the planning sessions. We are always looking for new members with new ideas.
