Windy Nook Parent, Teacher and Friends Association
What is the PTFA?
Windy Nook Parent, Teacher 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
- Dress down and fun day
- Cauliflower Cards
- Halloween and Spring discos
- School trips and visitor workshops
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.
