Welcome to St John Fisher's Parent Teacher Association

OUR AIM:  is to enrich the lives of our children by bringing together our community through a range of social and fundraising events.

To provide those little ‘extras’ that govt funding falls short of - the ‘fun things’ that make learning more interesting and exciting.

We rely heavily on your support to try and achieve this!

Our most fantabulous night of the year and we're really, REALLY, looking forward to it!  An evening of amazing food (honestly, check out the menu), drinking and dancing and great company.  These events help our children and the school, but this one's mostly about having fun!  It's also a great opportunity for those wanting to meet other parents and network.

Many tables are now booked, but there are plenty of seats still available.  We also receive a high number of bookings for individual seats, so in case you're on the fence please don't feel shy - we'll ensure you're placed on the right tables.  For further details, menu and booking please click on the following:

GET INVOLVED!

Like all PTAs, we rely on parents’ support and are very grateful to the many people who support us in the smallest of ways.

Contribute to your child's fun(d)!

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!

Gallery Privacy Notice

Please note that we do take privacy very seriously, and all pictures or video's taken at any of our Friends events are purely for the benefit of sharing moments of joy with our SJF Parents.

We are mindful, however, that not everyone is partial to having their children's pics/vids shared online or via social media, and we also totally appreciate that there may be very valid reasons for that choice.

If this is the case, or should you find a picture on our site that you would like removed, please do not hesitate to contact us and we promise to remove it immediately without any further question.

Please also be assured that all pictures and video's taken are removed from all of our personal devices after being posted on the school site.

Again, if you would not like to have your child/rens pictures/videos shared online, please let us know.

Many thanks,

Friends Team
