Charitable Aim
Our charitable aim is:
To advance the education of the pupils at Cropredy School, in particular by supporting the school and encouraging links with the wider community, providing and assisting in the provision of extra facilities, resources and other sundries. This also includes subsidising extra curriculum trips and in-school visits which are not provided by the local education.
The Committee
We have a great committee, bringing together a great mix of parents from the various year groups and which we are always looking to add to. There is a lot of enthusiasm in the committee and great ideas with a lot of fun to be had in creating, planning and running a variety of fund-raising events and activities.
We would love your input on what we should fund to enhance our children’s learning. Your thoughts about school resources, visits to places or talks from inspiring people are always very welcome.
Suggestion, Comments or Ideas
If you have any suggestions, comments or ideas feel free to come and have a chat with any of the PTFA committee if you see us at school and we will try to answer any queries you may have.
Otherwise, you can contact us via Facebook or email the PTFA directly at cropredyptfa@gmail.com
