PTFA

What is the PTFA?

Julian's Primary PTFA core focus is to work closely with the school to benefit the pupils. Every parent, carer and staff member is automatically a member and we encourage everyone to get involved. The group is run by an elected executive comprising of volunteer parents, carers and staff and they hold regular meetings and coffee mornings at both sites. It updates the whole school community through the school's weekly newsletter and via a team of dedicated Class Reps.The group has charitable status and its primary aim is to raise valuable funds for the school. Everyone is welcome to contribute ideas, time, energy and enthusiasm whether or not you attend meetings.

How do we raise money?

Regular events have been school discos, cake sales, winter and summer fairs & raffles and social events for adults, for example the infamous quiz night! To view a video of the Summer Fair 2016 click here:

How can you help?

Help at a disco; make or sell cakes; run a stall at one of the fairs; help with our Facebook page; donate gifts for raffles; ask your business to sponsor an event; ask your company to match funds raised; design or print posters; bring fresh ideas....

Everyone can help raise funds when shopping online. When you shop online, please consider signing up to easyfundraising to support Julians Primary School PTFA

It’s a really easy way to raise money for the school – you just use the easyfundraising site to shop online with more than 3,300 well known online stores like Amazon, Argos, John Lewis, ASOS, Booking.com, eBay, Boden, and M&S and when you make a purchase, the retailer sends the PTFA a donation, at no extra cost to you.

We want to raise as much as possible, so please visit our new easyfundraising page at https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/juliansptfa/ and click ‘support this cause’.

How do I get involved?

The Julian's PTFA reflects the warm, friendly and inclusive ethos of the school and we hope that you will be actively involved. Either come to a meeting, email us at juliansptfa@googlemail.com and ‘like’ us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/JuliansPrimarySchoolPTFA

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 us if you are interested in being a Class Rep or getting involved in the Committee.
