PTFA

What do we do?

Eyam School has a thriving PTFA (Parent Teacher and Friends Association) which raises valuable funds for the school each year as well as contributing to the social life of the school. The PTFA has a committee which organises regular fundraising events such as the annual Bonfire Display, the Eyam Half Marathon and the Summer Fair.

Our main aim is to raise money to improve the learning environment for the children which allows us to supply our school with equipment and resources that would not be available to the school and our children otherwise. We have been able to fund a climbing wall for the playground, an accessibility ramp leading up to Owls Class, partially fund the tyre park on the school field and are currently fundraising for a new school library, as well as contributing to other valuable resources in school.  We also raise funds to provide various workshops for the children and to subsidise school trips helping to keep the cost for parents to a minimum but ensuring that the children can expand their learning outside of the classroom.

How can you help?

All parents automatically become a member of the PTFA when their child starts school. Grandparents, aunts, uncles and wider family members and the local community are also very welcome to join. All are welcome to attend the PTFA committee meetings that are held once a term.  Everyone can make a valuable contribution by helping on an ad-hoc basis with the various fundraising events held throughout the year. 

We are always looking for new ideas for fundraising events so if you have any ideas please let one of the committee members or staff reps know.

Throughout the year we hold raffles and serve refreshments to raise money, so are always looking for kind donations of prizes or unwanted gifts and help in the form of cake donations, catering and so on.  You can support us through Easy Fund Raising and Amazon Smile which turns your everyday online shopping into free donations for our school.

You can also join the parents WhatsApp group for all this information, just ask another parent who will add you to the group.
