What does PTFA stand for?
Parents, Teachers and Friends Association. This includes the term Friends which can include members that are not directly a current parent or staff member. This usually means that someone who used to be involved (e.g. a parent or governor etc) may want to stay on to help even if their child has gone on to Secondary School for example. Even grandparents can come under the 'Friend' umbrella. It gives us wider inclusivity and access to support.
