HELLO AND WELCOME
Friends of Tetherdown is the name of the school Parent Staff Association (PSA) and is a registered charity run by a Committee of parent volunteers. Our singular aim is to enrich and enhance the learning experience of our children. Our multiple methods to do this are broad, bold and fun:
- We fundraise for the school by planning and running a host of great events staggered throughout the school year. Some for the children, some for the parents and some for the whole family to enjoy. All contributing to our ambitious financial targets and generating a ton of energy and joy.
- In collaboration with the school we decide and vote on how the funds are spent and so influence the school environment, facilities and focus.
- We act as an interface between the staff and the families to encourage and promote everyone working together to realise the vision we have for our school.
The numbers
In the last school year (2021-2022) we raised a record-breaking £65,000 on a target of £60,000. It was a truly great year – full of newness and innovation, fresh ideas and fun.
