PTFA
Welcome to Friends of Stoberry Park School (Circle of Friends)
The PTFA is a charity which helps raise additional funds for Stoberry Park School and supports the school in many ways. All parents, carers and staff connected with the school are automatically considered to be members.
We meet around once every half term to organise fundraising events including the Christmas Fair and Raffle, Summer Fair and BBQ, Quiz, stewarding at the Glastonbury Festival and cake sales. We also arrange events to benefit the pupils in other ways such as an annual disco.
All the money we raise goes directly back into supporting important projects within the school. We are currently fundraising to support essential upgrades to the school hall’s lighting and sound sytems and to continue the provision of Bonnie, the visiting Therapy Dog.
Most recently the PTFA have donated funds to establish the Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) project and fund improvement works for the EYFS outdoor area as well as the reference books throughout the school. Previously, the PTFA have donated over £11,500 to the school for a new library and funded the majority of the installation of a defibrillator to support the school and local community. We have raised money to install new outdoor play equipment for Key Stage 2 pupils, bought play equipment for the Foundation Stage outdoor area and contributed to the installation of the canopy, and created other garden areas in the school grounds.
We would welcome new committee members to the PTFA or perhaps you could join our Supporters List and help us with the events we hold throughout the year? You do not have to make a huge commitment, just do what you can; it all helps and is much appreciated! Involvement with the PTFA is a great way to meet new people as well as have some involvement with school activities.
