St Joseph's Catholic Primary School and Nursery

My name is Claire I am the Chair of the PTFA. I am a mother of two children. My eldest is in Year 2..  In my spare time you will find me with my family and friends or my sheep! I enjoy being a part of the PTFA helping to bring the school together and raise funds for the school to help enrich the school and it’s resources for our children. 

I’m a mum of two and really enjoy being part of our school community. I love getting involved, helping with events and bringing people together. I’m always happy to lend a hand, share ideas and, of course, enjoy a good cup of tea along the way!"

We run events to raise money for the school to buy equipment and resources for St Joseph's school. We also provide opportunities for children and adults alike to get to know each other and have fun.

As well as organising big projects such as the summer fete and school disco, we run social events like family film nights & quiz nights. We also hold raffles, cake sales and coffee mornings.

We try to keep a balance between those events which are aimed primarily at raising funds for the school and those which are purely for entertainment.

Look out for the PTFA news in school newsletters, updating parents on our progress and forthcoming events. Over the years, we are proud to say we have raised thousands of pounds for our school.

This has:

• bought a fantastic range of computer equipment for the IT suite
• helped refurbish the library and stock with interesting books for our children to read
• provided educational and enrichment visits for pupils
• fully refurbished our school nature garden so children can play and learn safely in the area

We’d love to get as many people involved in the PTFA as we can. The more volunteers who help out, the more funds we can raise for our school. It’s also great to get fresh ideas from new faces.

You don’t have to be a committee member to get involved. Some people just help out at the odd event, whilst others get involved in every project, as well as perhaps becoming committee members.

No previous experience is necessary and you can spend as much or as little time as you wish and, although it’s voluntary, job satisfaction is guaranteed by 200+ happy and grateful little faces! It’s also a great way of meeting other parents, making friends and getting to know how the school runs.

If you are interested in getting involved with the committee, we hold monthly meetings (term time only). Or you might want to help us out on an ad hoc basis. Either way, you can talk to one of the committee members, come along to any of our meetings or contact us by emailing ptfa@stjosephs.w-berks.sch.uk.

My name is Vicki, and I have recently joined the PTFA as the Treasurer. I have one child in Year 1. I have helped with PTFA events in the past and enjoy getting involved with organising and planning activities that bring the school community together.

I am looking forward to supporting the PTFA in raising valuable funds for the school and helping to make the children’s time at St Joseph’s as enjoyable and memorable as possible.
