CYP Lower-Travelling back in time…
Yesterday our YR1 children were very excited to find out more about old toys.
Do you want your child to have better resources to learn and play?
Do you want to meet other parents and contribute to the school?
Then be part of Cypress Primary School’s Parent, Teacher and Friend Association (PTFA)
The PTFA run events that raise funds and bring the school community together. These include fairs, quiz nights, cake sales, discos, refreshments, our ‘Sponsored bounce’, and the Cypress Secret Garden Party
How much do we raise? In 2015/16 we raised an incredible £16k.
How is the money spent? You can help decide how to use PTFA funds through regular school-wide surveys which have prioritised enabling pupils to go to the theatre, bringing in educational and creative workshops, and digital learning.
Ever thought about playing an active role in the PTFA? It’s a great way to be part of the school community, to meet other parents and help give our kids better resources to learn and play. There are lots of different ways to help depending on the time you have and your interests – from the end of term Disco’s to our Communications Team. Chat to a PTFA Officer, message us on Facebook, or speak to Ms Hart.
Charity no. 1026393.
