PTFA
What is the PTFA?
A group of people including parents, teachers and friends of the school who help to organise events, both fund-raising and social.
What are the aims of The Clent PTFA?
To raise funds to buy things that will benefit the children, that the school could not otherwise afford, to organise social events for children, parents and their friends, to foster community relationships at our school.
Who can belong to the PTFA?
Anyone who has children at the school or who works at the school is automatically a member of the PTFA. Each year in September there is an Annual General Meeting (AGM) to which all parents and staff are invited. This is a good way of meeting people for the first time and hearing about the PTFA achievements and plans. Committee Meetings are held roughly every term in the evening but you don’t need to be a member to help out. Newcomers are always welcome.
Planning & Organisation
In the informal atmosphere, the committee openly discuss activities and generate new ideas. It is at these committee meetings that school projects are considered with a view to PTFA Funding. In joining the committee, this is your opportunity to have your say. Committee meetings generally start at 6.30 pm and last for just over 1 hour.
Be part of the PTFA team at Clent
Being a member of the PTFA will give you lots of pleasure and enhance your family’s relationship with the school. Parents, staff and friends all combine as individuals to form a friendly school community. As Year 6 parents leave the school, so new Reception parents join. Everyone is made welcome through their involvement with the school and it is never too late to get involved. We are always on the lookout for new members with new and fresh ideas or helpers to run a stall at a fete for half an hour. Whatever you can put in – it will be appreciated.
How to contact your PTFA
The easiest way to contact us is to leave a message with the school Office and a PTFA member will contact you.
Fun & Social Events
It is not all about raising funds all the time. The social events are equally important and give the children and adults the opportunity to enjoy many friendships. The school disco, for instance, is very popular for all the children and the annual Xmas and Summer Fayres are great days out for everyone. The quiz night for parents is fantastic!
