The PTFA (Parents, Teachers and Friends Association) of Norland School is an essential group who organise activities and help to raise money for additional activities and resources in school.
- Who is a member of the PTA? Every parent, guardian, teacher or carer of a child at Norland School is automatically a member of the Parent Teacher and Friends Association (PTFA).
- How does it work? The PTFA is currently run by a core of volunteers who regularly attend the PTFA meetings and help to organise events such as the School Discos, Summer Fair and Film Nights. We have officers of the PTFA, however everyone is free to contribute as little or as much as they like as infrequently or as often as they like. The role of the PTFA committee is to encourage close links between home and school. The committee is responsible for organising fundraising events and projects outside of the school's own remit, with a view to raising funds to make the children of Norland CE School’s learning more interesting and exciting. It is our aim to be able to provide extras that are not paid for by the school's main income.
A number of fantastic events have been enjoyed by our children and parents, including a Summer Fair, Summer raffle, Christmas Fair, Elfridge's shop, Discos and Movie Nights.
Two very kind parents also applied for match funding through their employment, which increased our profit considerably.
Last year we funded new playground equipment and a whole school visit to the pantomime.

Help/Ideas
If you work for a business that could offer matched funding at one of our events please let us know as this can make a massive difference to our fundraising.
We welcome anyone to join us and love fresh ideas to help raise funds. We hold PTFA meetings approximately every 6 weeks. If you would like to join one of our meetings please keep your eye out for further information sent from school, or speak to one of the committee members.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any fun, fundraising ideas. We would love to have you on board.
