Welcome to PTFA for St Mary Redcliffe Primary!

The PTFA for St Mary Redcliffe Primary is a Parent Teacher Friends Association which was established in 2014. Our aim is to provide additional resources, experiences and opportunities for children at SMRP, through fundraising, events and volunteering. We are a group of dedicated parents, carers and teachers who want to make a difference to the school and its pupils. We are passionate about bringing our school community together, creating friendly and inclusive social events and instigating projects that enhance the primary school experience for all our families. 

Everyone is welcome to get involved; we are always in need of helpers at events, shared skills for various projects and new ideas - so please get in touch.


The Winter Fair is fast approaching! We are still in need for people to run the craft room.  We are also looking for more help with setting up in the morning. If you are able to help with the set up (from 9.30am) or the running of the craft room (from 12-2.30pm) please contact us on smr_ptfa@hotmail.co.uk

We are still looking for donations of the following:

  • Wine/Fizz for the Water or Wine stall. Extra points if you have a wine gift bag to put it in! Just bring it with you on the day or drop to the school office in advance.
  • Tombola Prizes - new and unused presents such as kits/puzzles/games/books/toys that have not been opened. Please drop these to the school office in advance.
  • Cake and bakes on the day. Please no nuts and if you can list ingredients, it would greatly appreciated.

 

A huge thank you to Mr Hunter, Mr Marquez-Vega and Mr Hewett for the brilliant video explaining Jolly Jars. We hope the children are enjoying creating theirs. Don’t forget to put your child’s name and class on the bottom of the jar as the Jolly Jars will be judged with a prize for EYFS, KS1 and KS2.

 


Outdoor Project/Gardening Club Update

Thank you to those who came to Gardening Club yesterday - it was great to see some new faces 💫 Everyone did a fantastic job of clearing away the leaves and clearing out the pond 🍁🍂 Not only is Gardening Club a great way to keep the outdoor spaces safe and accessible for the children, research has shown there are associations with gardening and improved physical, social and mental health
