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 Asda cash pot closed on the 30th November and a fantastic £526.23 was raised

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
