The PTFA is vital to the success of Julian’s. Be part of the group that pays for the playground your child loves or funds extra art supplies that spark imaginations.

It’s important to have mums, dads and carers represented. We all bring different skills and different perspectives.

Whether you’re a full-time parent or working the nine to five, anyone can get involved. It’s less commitment than you think. Small jobs such as organising uniforms, promoting events or clearing coffee cups keep everything running smoothly.

Meet and chat to a wider circle of families from different classes and year groups. Get to know other parents, and bond over events, socials and get-togethers.
Be better connected

Create closer links with the teachers and staff. If you’re new to the school, the PTFA is an excellent way to find out how things work.

Have a say on important decisions. Work with the school and other parents to see where improvements can be made and help implement them. Directly influence the experience of your child and hundreds of others.

Studies show that children whose parents and carers are involved in their education do better in school and our PTFA benefits equally from active parents/carers.

Our children are only at school for a few years, but they will remember the difference we make for a lifetime. They will cherish the activities we fund, learn using resources we buy,and remember the events we put on. Help keep the PTFA going so future students can benefit too.

We are also looking to recruit Class Reps so that we have 1 or 2 contacts per class so that we can share news with all parents and garner support for events.  We also have several positions open on the Committee.

Please email the PTFA juliansptfa@gmail.com if you are interested in being a Class Rep or getting involved in the Committee.
