What events do your organise?
Annual events include discos, Summer and winter fairs, wear your own clothes days, break the rules days pop up shops for mother's day, father's day and our Christmas pop-up shop Elfridges. We also support fundraising initiatives which the children's elected representatives ask us to, like the new provision of a quiet outdoor classroom area we are currently fundraising for, and teacher requests to enable the school to undertake extra curricular activities they would not otherwise be able to do.
How else do you support the community
Cradle Hill school is a community school, which means that we as the PTFA always have an eye on how things we do for the school can also benefit the wider community, and on how we can make stronger links with the wider community for the benefit of the children and parents at the school. We work closely with the school to align out objectives with theirs for maximum benefit in the short and long term.
How can I get involved?
We currently elect our PTFA officers in the Autumn term when people also decide if they want to join the main committee or not. We also have a PTFA lite groups which has been very popular for parents who want to get involved on an activity by activity basis but not be involved year round. This group is invaluable to making events a success and can be joined by emailing us at ptfa@cradlehill.co.uk
