PTFA

What is the PTFA?

A group of parents, teachers and friends of Bampton school, who organise events to raise money, and who help and support the school in lots of different ways. We have 4 annually elected positions (Chair, Treasurer, Secretary & Publicity Officer) – everyone else is very welcome to join in for any or all of the meetings, which are held around twice a term to plan future events and agree expenditure. A one-off ‘Event Committee’ is usually set up for each planned event, to provide fresh supplies of energy and enthusiasm!

 

What does the PTFA do? summer fete

Events that we’ve organised in the past include Mouse Racing, ‘Bampton School’s Got Talent’ and the Generation Game, the Christmas Bazaar and Summer Fete, barn dances and discos, Jumble Sales and the Easter Eggstravaganza. We also provide refreshments at school events. In addition, holding a raffle at the monthly Comedy Club in Tiverton (there’s even a clip of this on youtube), using the on-line shopping website Easy Fundraising, and running the RagBag collection and the Scholastic Book Catalogue all provide on-going income.

Can I join in?

Please do! You can offer to help at an event, or to organise it; ideas for fund-raising are equally valuable; or if you can pour out cups of squash at a school show, that’s welcome too. Using any of the fund-raising companies below all adds to the total raised for the school. You can find PTFA names and contact details below; and the date of the next meeting is listed on the Newsletters page.

Where does the money go? The teachers and the childrens’ School Council can ask for any extras that will benefit the school: in the past 2 years we have bought play equipment and sports equipment, both for the whole school and for the running and netball clubs; we gave each class £250 to buy their own toys for wet-play; we paid for transport and subsidised tickets for theatre trips to London, Plymouth and Taunton, and a whole-school visit to @Bristol; and we bought water-proof trousers & coats for Yellow Class. We also pay for presents for the Year 6 leavers, and prizes for the Reading Challenge.
