Welcome to the PTFA

All you need to know about St.Mary's Birchley PTFA and how to stay up to date with events.

NEXT MEETING to be held on Wednesday 30th April 2025 at 6.00PM in the Infant Hall. (All Welcome)

St. Mary's Birchley PTFA, welcomes all parents, teachers and friends of our school, who wish to help us with our fundraising throughout each school year. Everyone can become part of our team in planning, preparing and creating fundraising events for our children and their families.

This page will be used to keep you up to date with the latest news, events and initiatives that the PTFA would love for you to get involved with. Our main aim is to organise PTFA events help to raise vital funds, enabling us to enrich the school lives of every pupil at St. Mary's Birchley. We help to provide equipment, educational experiences and to buy specific items for the school by holding fundraising events throughout the school year. We definitely put the FUN into fundraising and are always looking for ideas.

From Reception through to Year 6, pupils within the school will benefit in some way from the funds we raise, so it is important for all of us to support the PTFA and get involved in any way we are able to.

We would really appreciate the support of you and your wider families where possible and for those of you who can give a little bit extra, we would be thrilled to see you at our next PTFA meeting.

What are we aiming for?

The PTFA are hoping to raise more funds to develop the outdoor area in EYFS, to work alongside Eco-Council to grow fruit and vegetables and to further fund some school trips. All of your contributions make such a difference in what we can offer all of our children. We very much appreciate every donation and penny raised as it goes towards directly benefitting the children at St,Marys.

We are still very much in the planning stages but throughout Spring, we hope to be able to start work on this project. Help from our school community will be called upon and we hope to make it something fun for everyone to take part in and be proud of.

So all you creative, gardening, outdoor-loving, community-spirited parents; we want you to WATCH THIS SPACE where we will share more information on this soon.

We will also be using some funds towards trips out of school for all pupils!

Our progress so far...

We think you'll agree that there were some fun times throughout 2024. Our most recent Christmas Events have raised a brilliant £3096.23. We are delighted at the amount we have raised and hope to continue this excellent work throughout 2025 whilst providing everyone with lots of fun events!
