School Charity & PTFA

Welcome to Churcham School Charity & PTFA

Churcham Primary School is proud to have always held a very successful PTFA consisting of volunteer parents.

In 2022, the PTFA applied for and successfully gained charitable status as a Charitable Incorporated Organization (CIO). Being such a small school, we aspired to extend our fundraising yield beyond the school community itself.

Our two main goals are to:

1. Collaborate with teaching staff, pupils and parents to enrich the delivery of the curriculum at Churcham Primary School.

2. Raise additional funding for activities, facilities and equipment to advance the education of the pupils.

School Events

Throughout the year we run various school events including discos, craft competitions, Christmas trips, Summer Fun Days, Dress up days, Cake sales and more. The main purpose of these events is to have lots of fun and create memories. We are always reviewing these events and would welcome any new ideas you may have or would like to help with.

As a joint project with our school Eco-Council, we have recently installed a community clothing and textile recycling bin in association with C&G Collections Ltd. This is placed in a prime position outside our school and is accessible for the whole community. As we enjoy watching our children grow, it’s great to know that we’re ‘doing our bit’ to protect their world. Next time you have a good clear out, why not help us to ‘turn Lbs into £s’.

Community Events

This year, in addition to school-based events we have organized a local tractor run and held a stall at the Speech House Vintage Show. Our stall at the Steam Fair this year was kindly sponsored by both Elite Pro Sports and May Hill Farm Equestrian enabling us to create a Gloucester Rugby themed stall.

Both opportunities have allowed us to network with other community groups, to promote our school and enhance our funding. We are continually looking for opportunities to expand our community network. If you run an event or are part of a local business and would like to collaborate with our charity please do get in touch.
