How can you help?
Come to the social for new parents following the AGM; Tuesday 10th October Lumsdale site 6pm. This meeting would provide new members with a chance to hear a little more detail about what we do, the formalities will last no more than an hour and we plan to go for a drink afterwards.
Donate to further support the amazing work the school is doing for our children. If you feel able to give any amount of money, then please use this link to donate to the PTFA. Please feel free to share this link with family, friends and the wider Highfields community.
Support the events that take place in school throughout the year.
