PTFA

What is the PTFA?

Marleigh Primary’s PTFA (Parent Teacher and Friends Association) is a volunteer-led association committed to supporting the school by nurturing a strong community and raising funds to enrich the educational journey of every child at Marleigh Primary Academy.

Together, we can make our school a fun, engaging, and successful place, helping your children fly.

Our purpose

• Community: Build a thriving and supportive school community through fun and inclusive organised events that bring parents, teachers and children together. Some highlights include our yearly Easter Egg Hunt and Christmas Fayre.

• Fundraising: Raise funds to support the school. With school budgets being tight, money we raise can be spent on. fun and educational “extras” including school trips, playground equipment, educational experiences, and staging/sound systems.
• Parent representation: Contribute to school decision-making. Committee members agree with the headteacher on how best to spend PTFA funds.
