Our PTFA

  • Chairperson - Nicki McGrath
  • Treasurer - Kate Tattersall
  • Secretary - Joanne Rhodes

We are fortunate at our school to have a PTFA that has been an integral part of the school community for many years. In its time, the PTFA has raised thousands of pounds, which have been spent on equipment and resources to enhance our children's educational experience and improve the schools' facilities.

Our PTFA is about much more than simply fundraising - we exist to provide closer links between home and school. It is also an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal - to support the children achieve the best they can.

All families automatically become members of the Brindle St James' PTFA when their child joins the school. We encourage parents, extended family and members of the school community to get involved as much as possible, so that we can make every event as successful and enjoyable as possible. We do understand that some people simply don't have time to be practically involved, but there are lots of other ways in which you could help - please see below.

It is a simple, free process to register, and by doing so, you can save money on purchases from companies such as Waterstones, Amazon, Direct Line, John Lewis and many more. As if that's not enough, the companies in question will make a donation to the PTFA every time you make a purchase!

Thank you for your donations - they raise vital funds for our school.

  • Donations: We always need donations for prizes at events. If you have anything or you know someone who might be willing to make a donation, please let us know.
  • Ideas: We are always very keen to have new ideas.  If you can't get into school to discuss your ideas, then email us or leave a note at the school office.
  • Special Skills: You may have, or may know someone who has special skills that would be useful for us to know about. For example, parts of your job or a particular hobby may lend appropriate skills or items for an event.
