PTFA

Birchwood Primary School PTFA – Parent, Teachers & Friends Association

Supporting the School through fundraising.

Who are we and what do we do?

The PTFA is a warm and friendly organisation of Parents, Staff and Friends who work together through
various activities to provide both social and fundraising events for the school.

Where the PTFA funds go

First and foremost, it's important to understand that all the money that we raise is raised by the school for
the school - it's just our job to help make that happen.
Secondly, the way we spend the money is a direct result of discussion with The Head of School/Executive Head of School and as a
team we decide the best way to spend our funds.

How you can help!

To organise and run these special events takes a lot of time, effort and hard work.
However, ‘many hands make light work’ and that really is the case. All are welcome to join in the fun –
whatever time you can spare, whatever ideas you have we want to hear from you! You don’t have to join
the committee just be a friendly volunteer and do something that you enjoy.
The PTFA are all volunteers and we will all tell you that it really is rewarding and we do have FUN!

We are always looking for volunteers! Please see details below:

The Zen Den

We are now raising funds for a Mental wellbeing facility.

This will be a standalone building in the grounds of Birchwood. It will be a room that will be used as a safe,
calming, talking space for the children to be supported by trained adults to take a break from the stresses

of school life, it will be open to all the school community.

Can you help us raise funds? Do you work for a company who could help us with a donation? One, of our

parents works for Amazon and they have just donated us £1000.
