PTFA – Parent Teacher Friends Association
PTFA Information
Welcome to Dashwood Banbury Academy’s PTFA!
The aim of the PTFA is to raise money through exciting and engaging events that enrich the lives, opportunities and experiences of all of our pupils. This academic year, the PTFA have decided to provide our KS1 and KS2 pupils with a new and different experience of a theatre production in school! All funds raised from events go towards supporting this great opportunity!
Do you have enthusiasm, energy and ideas for fundraising? Can you spare an hour or two to support our events?
Our PTFA always welcomes new members to join them in organising events. We understand that everyone has commitments and busy lives so any time you can give, even just an hour for one event, will be very much appreciated.
If you are interested in joining the PTFA, or can offer a little of your time, please come to our school office where we can give you more information.
Here are the events we are planning to host this year – any help that you can offer either in planning for the event or on the actual day, will be greatly received:
