PTFA

Welcome to the Parents, Teachers and Friends Association for Twyning School.
 
We have a small committee assisted by a huge group of parents!

Our main objectives are:

• To raise money through a wide range of fundraising activities to help the School pay for additional items.

• To support the staff at school led events by providing assistance and refreshments,

• To provide a further opportunity for parents and friends to contribute to the school community.
   
   PTFA Events
  The PTFA organise many fun events throughout the year:

• The Christmas Fair

• School discos

• Cake sales

• Bingo nights

• The Village "Biker Nite" refreshments

• pre-loved uniform sales

• wreath making workshops

• quiz nights.

  These events have both become a well-loved and eagerly anticipated part of the school year.
   
  We also provide refreshments at many school events, i.e. Harvest festival, Leavers Assembly, Easter Assembly.
   
  We also arrange regular donations of clothes etc to the Bag 2 School scheme, where parents are given an empty bag to fill with unwanted clothes, shoes etc. The bags are collected at school by the Charity who weigh each bag and give us a donation per Kg. 
   
  What is the money raised spent on?
  Our PTFA fundraising continues to be very successful, and raises a lot of additional money for the school.

  They have funded outdoor playground equipment, the new Rabbits Class outdoor canopy, a class pack of laptops, iPads, dyslexia friendly dictonaries, so annual pantomime trip coaches for the whole school trip to The Roses Theatre every Christmas.
