Welcome to Sheering Church of England Primary School PTFA

What the PTFA does:
Raises money through fun events and initiatives:
• The Summer Fair
• The Christmas Fair
• Children’s Discos
• Afternoon Teas
• Mother’s/Father’s Day gift Shop
• Sponsored Events
• Provides tea, coffee and soft drinks at the School Sports Day
• Harvest Festival Coffee Morning

The PTFA have helped to purchase or contribute towards the following equipment/events to benefit all our children across all areas of the school:
• PE equipment
• Playtime equipment – Climbing and activity equipment for outside area.
• Coach Transport to events
• Provides leaving gifts for Year 6
• IT Equipment
• Disco/PA equipment
• New class room furniture
• Cash donations to each class to spend on curriculum enrichment

How does the PTFA make decisions about what to spend on?
Once money is raised from events the funds are banked straight away. It is at our PTFA Committee Meetings, that the decisions on how to spend the money are agreed. Usually, Mrs Brittaine our Head Teacher will have ideas of items that the school would like to purchase. In the main the PTFA funds are for the ‘extras’ not provided by the school budget.

We always endeavour to spend our funds in ways that will benefit all our children across all areas of the school and curriculum.

We are very fortunate at our school to have a PTFA that is and has been such an integral part of the school community for many years. In its time the PTFA has raised thousands of pounds, which have been spent on improving equipment and resources to enhance our children’s education and the facilities in school in general.
