Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is known as ‘Friends of Hayesdown Children’. This group of parents and staff work hard to run a number of events throughout the year to raise money and provide opportunities for the school community to meet informally and socialise. ‘Friends of Hayesdown Children’ also manage the purchase and sale of school uniform containing the Hayesdown logo.

The Committee is always happy to welcome new members and to receive ideas to support its work. You don’t have to be a member to attend meetings and help at events – you simply have to turn up or offer your services through a PTA member. Many hands make light work and we can assure you of a very warm welcome!
Events
The Committee has an annual core of tried and tested social events that are enjoyed by the community but also tries to introduce one or two new events each year. Events are detailed in our newsletters and cited in the calendar on this website.
Fundraising
In the last twelve months, funds we have raised have been used to purchase:
We are currently focusing our efforts on raising money for small cookers and cooking equipment for the children to use in their classrooms to support food technology aspects of the 2014 National Curriculum. Alongside this, we will continue to raise money for the furniture we would like to see installed in our new Research Centre, which will be started as soon as we are able to apply to the Academies Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) for a grant to cover building costs.
Annual General Meeting
The date of the next AGM is Thursday 8th October 2015 7.15 p.m.
