Friends of the School (PTA)
Registered Charity 1046636 | freindsofstjohnfisher@gmail.com
Welcome to St John Fisher's Parent Teacher Association
Striving to enrich the lives of our children by bringing together our community through a range of social and fundraising events.
We do our best to add those little ‘extras’, where government funding falls short... The ‘fun things’ that make learning more interesting and exciting. Without your support, we fall short!
What is it? It's a cash prize draw that takes place near the end of every school term, offering £100/£30/£20 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes. As it takes place 3 times a year, you have the potential of winning up to £300 from a single ticket!
How much does it cost? It's £10 per ticket to enter the draw and there are no limits on the number of tickets you can buy. The more tickets you buy the higher your chances of winning.
Where does the money go? Every penny raised goes towards materials or fun events for the children. So... if you don't win, you can always take comfort in knowing you've contributed towards enriching your child/rens school life

DISCLAIMER: We know it seems arbitrary to have to fill out a form when you know you're going to just help out on the day whilst attending an event your child is involved in, but it helps us massively when advance planning, hence the polite request. Go on. Do it. These links are quick and simple google forms that'll take you less time to complete and submit than it did to read this piece of text, honestly! And by doing so you will not be committing your life away. We will simply use your contact information to get in touch in advance of an event to find out if you're attending and whether you can help out when you do. No pressure!
The School Friends PTA consists of the following committee members:
