Our pta

Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA)

At Harston and Newton Primary School, our PTFA plays a vital role in enriching school life. Its aim is to:

  • Raise funds in fun and sociable ways.
  • Strengthen community spirit within our school family.
  • Provide additional resources, equipment, and facilities to enhance every child’s educational experience.

There are many ways you can get involved and support your child’s education through the PTFA. Whether it’s helping at events, sharing new ideas, or offering your time and skills, every contribution makes a difference.

If you’d like to get involved, please email us via the school office or simply stop one of us at drop‑off or pick‑up—we’d love to hear from you!

  • Chair – Daniela Attenborough
  • Treasurer – Emma Fisher
  • Secretary – (Acting) Rebecca Cattermole, on behalf of Olga
