PTFA

Hello and welcome to the PTFA page.

As a parent of a child attending St Andrew's, you automatically become a member of the Parent Teacher Friend Association (PTFA). The PTFA works to encourage closer links between home and school, organise social events for both parents and pupils, and raise money for our lovely school. We welcome all participation – from baking cakes, manning stalls, coming up with new fundraising ideas or just shouting announcements in the playground - there's always room for more volunteers!

We organise events throughout the year for parents and children. In the last academic year our PTFA raised £20,000, with an overall profit of £13,000 – an incredible amount for a small school. The money we raise is for those little – and sometimes big! - extra things that help make learning fascinating and fun. Thank you to everyone who organised and attended our events, and with your help we hope to raise a similar amount this year.

HOW WE FUNDRAISE

Our three main fundraising events are the Spring Fayre and Christmas Fayre which together brought in almost £6,000 last year, and the Farnham Charity Bike Ride for which we will receive £10,000.

We are especially proud of our new relationship with the Farnham Hedgehogs, our partner in organising the Farnham Charity Bike Ride. It is our biggest single fundraiser and in 2024 raised £6,000 for the school – in just one day! The event also supports other local and national charities.

Last year our other fundraising activities included the school’s Sponsored Bounce (which raised £1,800!),  second hand uniform sales, ice-cream sales and the Bag2School scheme, which encourages parents to recycle their unwanted clothes and textiles.

The PTA also help out in putting together the school’s float for the Farnham Carnival. The St Andrew’s team have been very successful over the past few years and we are looking for parents to get involved in creating 2025’s Carnival entry.
