Raising funds for the school and creating lasting memories for our children

A warm welcome from the PTFA (Parents, Teachers and Friends Association), of Harston and Newton Community Primary School

The PTFA Committee currently consists of a Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. Unfortunately we do not have any other committee members this year. This means only very limitied events will be planned. 

The committee meet on a regular basis, with smaller working groups meeting as necessary to organise bigger events. The committee send out regular communications with updates, and requests for help when planning large events.

The aim of the PTFA is to raise money in a fun and sociable way, to provide the school with extra funding to spend on equipment and resources to enhance your child’s educational experience and the school's facilities. 

There are many ways you can support your child’s education through the PTFA. If you are interested in any of the below, drop us an email or stop one of us at school and share your thoughts.

Easyfundraising

Nearly 3,000 well known retailers including Amazon, M&S, Boden, Waitrose, Vodafone, Virgin Atlantic and many more, will donate a percentage of what you spend to Harston and Newton Community Primary PTFA when you shop with them, via fundraising website easyfundraising.

Each purchase you make generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Harston and Newton Community Primary PTFA.

It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more

On average, each retailer will donate 5% of the cost of your shopping – and those donations soon mount up. We have received more than £5,000 to date, simply from our supporters shopping online!

So whatever you need to buy, from your weekly grocery shop or fashion must-have, to your business travel, office supplies or mobile phone, buy it via easyfundraising and raise money for Harston and Newton Community Primary PTFA at no extra cost to you!

It’s a really simple process, all you have to do is:

May Fayre 2017

A massive thank you to everyone who supported the Summer Festival.
To everyone who came, who helped, who baked, who donated, who performed - thank you. You all helped to make it a fantastic afternoon. The sun shone and the school field was packed with families having fun. We had a  great turnout and the Summer Festival raised an incredible £2261.00,
A fantastic achievement by all involved. THANK YOU!

Band Night 2017

The PTFA Band Night was a fun and successful event, including the amazing Toy Machine, Jamie Segrave and Provenance Kitchen. Big thanks to Bury Lane Farm Shop, Pinksters and Briggs & Mortimer too – without their generous sponsorship we would not have been able to run the Gin Bar, which proved to be a very popular addition to the night! It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying the music, food and atmosphere.
