PTFA
The PTFA aim to be an inclusive association and welcomes new members and ideas for fundraising.
What is the PTFA?
The PTFA is a mixture of parents, carers, teachers and friends of the school, who work together for the benefit of Millfield Science & Performing Arts College and its students. The PTFA is dedicated to fundraising to enhance the students with experiences and resources. The funds raised will go towards student trips, transport or equipment to enhance pupils’ learning.
Why should I join?
There is no expectation on any parent, or carer – any amount of time you can give to the PTFA will always be well received. There are a variety of ways you can get involved, from attending PTFA meetings, engaging with social media activity, through to volunteering at events or coordinating events. Even donating preloved items, raffle prizes or suggesting ideas are ways of getting involved. There seems to be a myth that if you get involved with a PTFA you will never be able to leave! We make it clear that parents can come to our meetings to just listen and learn, or they can take a more active role if they want to, there are no set expectations.
Our events
Our PTFA regularly raise money from the following events:
- Pre-loved Uniform Shop (click for more info)
- Thornton Gala
- Poulton Gala
- Easter Egg and Chocolate Bingo
- Cakes and Sweet stalls
- Stalls on Sports Day and community events
- Family Bingo
Please do remember that this Association is here to welcome all parents and carers so we can raise funds to support our students and our fantastic school. It is a great way to get involved with the school and its community whilst raising money at the same time.
If you would like to register an interest in supporting our PTFA or have any ideas on fundraising then please contact Mrs Crook, Assistant Headteacher, on s.crook@millfield.lancs.sch.uk
We look forward to hearing from you!
