PTFA
All about us!
Montpelier Primary School has had a successful, committed, hardworking Parents, Teachers and Friends Association for many years. During this time, we have equipped the school with many resources, including:
-
Playground equipment and line markings
- New back drop for year 6 leavers
- Library resources
- Games for classrooms
- Cooking utensils
- Computer programmes, such as Minecraft
- New sport kits for events
- Pirate Ship by school entrance
We have provided extra-curricular activities and support for the children, such as: discos, fun days, storytelling evenings, fairs, educational visits, visiting authors/musicians and have donated money to numerous charities. We take great pride in all we do.
In order to do this, we need the support of parents. For a school of 650+ children, your PTFA consists of around 15 people and a dedicated core of 8.
As parents, you are automatically members of the PTFA (together with all the staff) and you may feel eager to join our committee.
The PTFA meet in a very informal way. The meetings serve the purpose of discussing events planned for the children. Members have become friends over the years and enjoy sharing other news with each other as well.
You do not have to become a member of the committee to help out at any of the events. Just ask! We do welcome new faces and need your support in order to survive! Did you know that the summer was almost cancelled as we do not have enough support?
If you do become a member of the committee, there is no obligation to attend every meeting, and minutes of the meeting can always be e-mailed to you. Do you have great ideas on how we can thrive?
Everything we achieve is for the benefit of the children, whether it is learning equipment, play equipment or enrichment. Please help us, to help them them. Seeing theirs and your enjoyment is why we do, what we do!
