We are the Friends of Potters Gate School (PTFA)
We welcome you to join our community where we raise funds for our school and have a great time in the process.
We are made up of Parents and Guardians, Teachers and Friends of our school, including you!
Our mission is to encourage a community feel to our school and to provide funds to enhance and enrich our children’s learning and education throughout their primary school lives.
What we do…
We run many events throughout the school year, such as; Christmas and Summer Fairs, Quiz Nights, School Discos, Sponsored Reads, Clothing donations, Playground sales and more…
The ‘What we have purchased’ image shows what we were able to purchase for the school during the 2023-24 academic year.
Why we do it…
In the past we have purchased a running track to enable the ‘Daily Run’, Maths Programmes which have improved our Maths statistics throughout the school and Guided Reading Books which have enabled our children to work smarter and have helped bring fluency into reading. The school hall has also benefited from a new sound system which gets put to good use during the annual Year 6 performance. We were able to buy air conditioning units for the upstairs classrooms.
More recently we have supported multiple Author Visits which have really brought a passion for reading to our young people. We have brought hundreds of curriculum reading books as well as refurbing reading pods for each classroom. All year 4, 5 and 6 pupils have been able to attend a first aid course and learn vital skills.
Something that all pupils are able to enjoy are the free School discos that we put on twice as year as well as seasonal activities such as Easter Eggs hunts and Christmas movie afternoon with popcorn and sweets.
