Welcome to the PTFA section

Churchend Primary Academy is very fortunate to have a 'Parents and Friends of Churchend Association'. This very supportive group of volunteers organises events throughout the year which are not only fun for the children and their families, but also raise funds for the school. These funds are used to buy resources for the school that the school budget struggles to afford.

They regularly raise funds through discos, cake sales, BBQs and Christmas fairs!

Through a survey conducted by Year 5, the PTFA  were able to get general parent views on where money should be spent. As a result of this, the Association purchased a much-needed Early Years adventure playground with the money they had raised. They have also purchased tablets, a video camera and green screen equipment and are hoping to provide more outdoor equipment for the older children.

The Association is not only concerned with fund-raising, but is also involved in the life of the school in general by providing man-power and refreshments at school events. In previous years, they have organised a new parent meeting at the start of the year to provide new parents with the opportunity to chat and get to know one another over a cup of tea and a biscuit.

All parents ,families and friends of the school are automatically members of the Association. The Annual General meeting is held early in the Autumn term and a Committee is elected. Working with the Association is very rewarding and socially enjoyable. Whether you can offer your services regularly or only occasionally, we are always delighted to hear from people willing to help or with skills to share with us. Helpers are always needed, particularly at major events.

Everyone is welcome, so please feel free to attend our next meeting and bring a friend! Please contact us through the school office.
