Who are we and what do we do?
The Redeemer PTFA is a great way for you as a parent/guardian or friend of the school to become more involved and gives you a chance to get more closely acquainted and feel a part of where your child/grandchild will spend their primary education. As a parent/guardian you automatically become a member of the PTFA and are welcome to attend all meetings and events.
Fundraising is an important part of the PFTA's job and the committee is keen to hear new ideas for interesting ways to help raise income.
We organise a variety of fun events for students, parents, staff and the wider community including singalongs, summer fairs, occasion gifts designed by the children for you to purchase, and many more.
Members of the PTFA community are available in the playground and after worship on a Friday morning to answer any questions or listen to any ideas you might have, and they can bring them to our formal meetings, should you not be able to attend.

Our Aim
The aim of the PTFA is simple: 'To enhance every child's time at The Redeemer.' The PTFA host a variety of events throughout the school year with the aim to raise funds to purchase items for the school.
We care deeply about providing the optimum learning and schooling experience here at The Redeemer for each and every child. Schools do sadly face cuts year on year to their budget – this is where the PTFA come in and we do need your support. Every penny we raise goes to projects that will enhance your child’s education, enjoyment and experiences here at The Redeemer.
Example of projects the PTFA have funded are:
- Book bags for new starters – our gift to welcome your child to The Redeemer
- iPads and computers across all years
- Staging and lighting rig to enhance school productions
- Playground repair and renovation
- Necessary school furniture e.g. bookcases
- Contributions to the Year 6 Leavers Event – well wishes as your child embarks on their next chapter
- Nativity costumes
- Transport costs to and from organised events
- Workshops and experience days
- Teaching props and visual aids such as a magnificent historical timeline
- Wet play toys and games
Your input really does make a huge difference.
We always welcome new ideas and input and would be delighted if you could get involved in any way. Please do attend our meetings which are held every half term.
We are also contactable via our email address ptfaredeemer@gmail.com.
We have the black post box located in the school office area.
You can also chat with us face to face as many of us are in the school yard at drop off and pick up times, and after worship on a Friday Morning.
