PTFA
At Severnbanks, we are proud to have a vibrant and dedicated Parents, Teachers & Friends Association (PTFA) that plays a vital role in enriching school life. The PTFA is a voluntary group made up of parents, carers, staff, and members of the local community who work together to support the school through fundraising, events, and community-building activities.
Our PTFA helps create memorable experiences for pupils, strengthens the partnership between home and school, and raises valuable funds that directly benefit our children’s education.
🎯 What Does the PTFA Do?
The PTFA supports Severnbanks in a variety of ways, including:
-
Organising fun and inclusive events such as school discos, summer fairs, Christmas markets, and quiz nights
-
Raising funds to enhance learning resources, playground equipment, and enrichment opportunities
-
Supporting school trips, workshops, and special projects
-
Creating opportunities for families to connect and get involved in school life
-
Promoting a strong sense of community and shared purpose
Every penny raised by the PTFA goes directly back into the school to support initiatives that benefit all pupils.
