The PTFA is a great way of getting to know other families and school staff whilst making a real contribution to the quality of school life for all. Every parent and teacher is automatically a member of St Andrew’s PTFA. Whilst fund-raising is a major part of any PTFA’s activities and directly contributes to the improvement of the school, there’s a lot more to it than that. Andrew’s PTFA provides a
great way to build the whole school community, including links with the local area, all of which benefits the school and our children. You're continued support is very much appreciated, no matter how small. Registered Charity No. 1027360
