Windy Nook Parent, Teachers and Friends Association

What is the PTFA?

Windy Nook Parent, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) are a group of people who help to organise fun activities. These activities help us raise money so we can contribute to school events or equipment that will benefit your children.

Most recently, the PTFA have arranged, funded or contributed to

  • Year 6 leavers’ hoodies
  • Halloween discos
  • Dress down and fun days
  • Tombola
  • Cauliflower Cards

Anyone who has children at the school (parents/grandparents/carers) or who works at the school can be a member of the PTFA. Anyone who wishes to join is made welcome and it is never too late to get involved.

Fundraising

Fundraising is a key part of the PTFA, without fundraising we couldn’t contribute to the school.
