The Friends of St Mary’s PTFA is an excellent way to bring together parents, staff, family and the local community.  All parents and family members of children in the school are welcome to get involved, it’s a great way to become part of the family of St Mary’s.  Our aim is to advance the education and enjoyment of pupils in St Mary’s school in particular by:-  Engaging in activities and  providing facilities and equipment which support the school and advance the education of our pupils.  We do this through friendship, fundraising and fun.

We are a friendly team of volunteer parents, grandparents and staff who meet each half-term to plan a variety of social and fundraising events.  Together with the professionals in school and the students we decide which projects would benefit from the financial assistance of the FoSM.

Our events include

• Mother’s and Father’s Day Gift Shop for pupils
• Christmas Shop for pupils
• School disco
• Film night
• Family quiz and games nights
• Bags2school fundraising clothes collections
• Hamper raffle
• Christmas and Summer Fair and Christmas Market
