PTFA

We are very fortunate at Wimbledon Park to have a vibrant PTFA that is a valued and integral part of the school community. Over the years, the PTFA has raised tens of thousands of pounds towards improving school equipment and resources.  Recent examples include installing classroom air conditioning, replacing the hall sound and lighting systems, installing blackout blinds in every classroom, funding sets of iPads and wireless computing devices, and refurbishing the library.

We'd like to introduce ourselves as the PTFA committee and tell you a bit about how you can get involved in supporting our amazing WPPS. We organise school related events to raise funds for the school with an emphasis on creating a thriving school community. The fundraising we do goes directly to the school leading to real improvements for the kids and school community. Over the years we have been instrumental in raising funds for the school which have been used for new class library books, iPads, lunch club resources, music and drama resources, transport and travel for sports fixtures and school trips, as well as contributing to the calm cave and some of the air-conditioning.

Our current committee is:

  • Andrea Elsby Jones – Co-Chair
  • Lisa Spence – Co-Chair
  • Adrian Jones – Treasurer
  • Taliah Walklett – Secretary
  • Tania Galavis – Committee Member
  • Rosie Rickman – Committee Member
  • Danielea Richards – Teacher Liaison

 

PLEASE GET INVOLVED

As parents at the school, you automatically become part of the PTFA and we are so grateful for all your involvement and support! We are only a small committee of volunteers so events can only happen with the support of the school community and we really appreciate this.

Follow us on Instagram @ wppsptfa and join our Facebook page WPPS PTFA.

This is where you will find all our upcoming events, buy tickets and see where we have reached in our fundraising target. You can also see who is on the Committee and read our FAQs (under “About Us/ FAQ”) which covers many of the questions that we are regularly asked.  Please remember to add you kids to their classes in the “Class Mailing Lists” tab under “My Account”.

 

Please volunteer as much as you are able to and contribute as much or as little of your time as you can! You can come and find us at the coffee morning on Friday 20 September, send us an email to wppsptfa@gmail.com or contact us through our website https://www.pta-events.co.uk/wpps.

A BIG THANK YOU!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your support at last year’s events – the discos, quizzes, fairs, all of the amazing cake contributions and, of course, the donations, we are so grateful.

Since April your generosity has raised over £10,000 which as mentioned above goes towards so many much-needed resources for the school.

We will be in touch again soon with more information on upcoming events. We rely heavily on the fantastic teams of class reps who share much of the information and are the link between the committee, staff and parents. Keep a look out for their messages too.

 

Our best wishes,

THE PTFA COMMITTEE
