Welcome to

Empingham CE Primary School

Parents and Friends Association

Parent and Friends Association (PFA)

 

Your PFA - Who’s who

 

First thing we would recommend you do, if you are already on social media, is to join the “Empingham School PFA’ Facebook group.  It is a great way to keep each other updated on what is going on at school.

We have found that by organising a group via WhatsApp can provide you with a very beneficial way to communicate with other parents from your child’s class. It’s a great way to send reminders to each other.  

You will be informed a lot of the time about PFA (Parents and Friends Association) which are ultimately created to raise funds for our school.  These donations support events that enhance our children’s experience in the present and future.  One of the sustainable projects included the PFA contributions to the all weather running track on the field.


 

So who are the PFA?

We have 3 elected roles in the PFA
Chair - Kay Parkinson-Featherstone
Secretary - Briony Smith
Treasurer - Claire Latham
However, the PFA is not only made up of elected roles.  We have an active set of parents plus we are lucky enough to have parents who kindly offer to help as and when they can.

 

The PFA have helped raise funds for:

School outings to see the Christmas Pantomime, Outdoor play equipment, PA sound system, Installation of a bike shelter, Installation of a climbing wall, Installation of a new trim trail.

 

The PFA also allocate funds to each classroom for those extra special moments we call “Wow” moments to make the children smile.

 

Another easy way to support is by shopping via easyfundraising.com.

We are also members of Easy Fundraising.  Simply download the app, selection Empingham School to receive donations, and shop.  It’s an easy way for the school to make money from all the purchases we make in our day to-day lives.  
 

Match Funding

You can also help by checking to see if the organisation you work for offers match funding.  Companies generously support match funding.  All you need is a form from the PFA to present to your company.

 

Many ways we raise money 

Our income is made up of both donations from match funding and grants and the fund raising we do. 

 

School Uniform

We have a supply of various sizes of preloved school uniform.  All items £1.

 

Please look out for emails informing you of the next PFA meeting and feel free to come along.
