PTA
We’d like to say hello and welcome to all new pupils and their parents and carers.
All parents/carers of children in the school are automatically members of the PTA, so we hope that you will want to be involved in some way.
One of our main roles is to raise money for things that pupils will enjoy using, as well as items which the school might otherwise be unable to afford. We try to arrange a number of events across the year, as well as running the Adult Education refreshments and 200 Club. All the money raised by the PTA goes towards equipment for the school which will directly benefit and be used by pupils. These have included flip cams for Modern Foreign Languages, video cams used by the English and Drama departments, athletics vests, new pans for the Food Studies department, a contribution towards African drums for the Music department, an extra heavy duty A3 trimmer for the Art department, a spirometer for the Science Department, equipment for the Bridge Club – the list goes on! Any department in the school can ask for funds from the PTA – we try to support as many of these requests as we can.
We always welcome ideas for fundraising events – so please tell us what sort of events you would like us to organise and would support!
Details of any events being organised and minutes of PTA Committee meetings are posted in the PTA section of the school’s website https://fulford.york.sch.uk/pta/ .
Please email our current chairperson, Helen Poulsen (hdpoulsen@gmail.com), if you want to know more. We always need new volunteers on the PTA so if you’d be able to help please get in touch. The level of your involvement is up to you – even just an hour per term would help us out!
This is a valuable source of funds which, at the same time, gives you a chance to win one of the monthly draws, with the winning number each month receiving prize money. The cost is £12 per number, which is then entered into each draw, giving you 12 chances to win. The more people who have numbers, the greater the amount of prize money is. This is a fun and easy way to support the school.
To join and boost the monthly jackpot, please complete the application form which outlines how the Club works and either fill in the standing order mandate or pay by cheque and send it with the application form to school marked ‘200 Club’.
The contact email for enquiries is: p.wykes@sky.com
Pre-covid, the PTA sold refreshments on Tuesday and Thursday evenings to people who attend Evening Classes at the school, and we hope to do so again in future.
If you can offer your help, please contact us via the refreshments usual contact hdpoulsen@gmail.com.
