the PTFA to St Margaret's C of E Primary School, Ifield, Crawley
St Margaret's Parent Teacher Friends Association (PTFA), is an organisation (and registered charity) of parents, friends and staff. Our role is to encourage closer links between home and school. We are are best known for our fundraising work, but we have a useful social function too.
How is the PTFA organised?
All parents/carers and teachers are automatically members of the PTFA.
We hold our annual general meeting in September, at the start of the school year. At this meeting a committee is elected to run the PTFA – usually consisting of a chair, a vice-chair, a treasurer, a secretary and ordinary committee members.
PTFA committees usually meet once a month and set up smaller working groups to organise individual events.
How is money spent?
Funds raised by the PTFA are intended to provide ‘extras’ not already provided by the school's main income – often 'fun things' that make learning more interesting and exciting.
The PTFA committee and the headteacher decide how to spend PTFA funds.
Last year we raised £418.30 for all orders received.
Don’t forget orders close on the 18th November 2024.
