Friends of Ravenswood is a PTA fund raising group for Ravenswood Primary School
All parents of children at Ravenswood Primary School are automatically members of the PTA. Some parents give a little time, for example, working on a stall at a School Fair or helping at a disco, whilst others commit more time by being on the PTA Committee, which is made up of parents and teacher representatives. Some recent projects funded by the PTA include:

🎉 Thank You for Making Our Winter Fair a Huge Success! 🎉
We are thrilled to share that, thanks to your incredible support, our school winter fair raised over £2,600 for the pupils of Ravenswood Primary School! This amazing achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the enthusiasm and generosity of everyone who attended.
A special thank you to our wonderful volunteers, staff, and families who gave their time and energy to make the day so enjoyable.
Finally, we’d like to extend another heartfelt thank you to all the local businesses who kindly donated raffle prizes. We also received donations from The Barn Door, Kitchen & Bar, Al Bear, The Ship’s Cat, and Double Smash Burger.
We also loved having Not Just A Pretty Facepaint with her fantastic face painting skills.
And a special thank you to Father Christmas for coming all the way from the North Pole!🎅🏻
