Newlaithes Junior School PTFA (Parents, Teachers & Friends Association)
​

***We meet every Monday at 9am in the library for 20mins***

The wonderful work of our PTFA spreads throughout the school, throughout the year and supports every child.  Our PTFA is vital to supporting the school and giving it that little bit extra. ​If you would like to be involved in the PTFA, please contact the school office who will be delighted to help you.

Decisions agreed at our weekly meetings:

From 2020, we are publishing our decisions here on the school website so all parents can see what we get up to and know that they can join in at anytime by popping along to a meeting on a Monday (20mins and a cuppa - 9am start).
