FRIENDS OF FINLAY COMMUNITY SCHOOL
Our Parent, Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA) work closely with our school community to arrange events in school such as discos, cake sales, movie nights, award ceremonies and our Finlay Festival. The money raised from these events is donated back into school to contribute to support with fundraising initiatives, purchase essential resources and supplies for school. Our main aim from fundraising is to buy items for school that will benefit all children.
The Finlay PTFA pride themselves on their contribution to wider school life: they support the school with fundraising efforts but also spend time volunteering in school.
Our Members:
We are made up of parents, teachers and friends of our school and local community.
We need your help!
We are always looking for parents to get involved and help with the PTFA, whether it be offering ideas, sponsorship or simply volunteering for an hour to help at an event. Some of the roles are time-consuming, although also rewarding. If you can’t commit to a big job, look out for things you can do less frequently like helping at the disco, baking for a cake sale or donating prizes for school competitions. Our group is very informal, friendly and lots of fun. Don’t worry - you won’t get roped into anything you don’t want to do. To get in touch, please speak to one the members or email ptfa@finlay.gloucs.sch.uk
