Stapleford School Friends Association (SSFA)

Contact the SSFA by emailing ssfacommittee@outlook.com

The SSFA is a very good way to bring together parents, teachers and others who are interested in supporting the school. It provides an opportunity for everyone to work together with a common goal. All parents and teachers can get involved if they want to even if they only have a small amount of time available. We are a friendly, sociable group with the school, its children and staff at the heart of all we do.

Why is being involved in the SSFA a ‘good thing’?

It can help parents:

• improve the school
• get to know each other – whilst taking part in a range of activities
• to have a friendly ear if they want to talk about something
• find out more about how they can help the school work
• fundraise for extra items or services to enrich the children’s education

It can help children:

• receive a richer education as a result of items bought by the SSFA
• benefit from your increased understanding of how to help the school

It can help teachers:

• reach potential volunteers and enthusiasts who may help with school projects
• use the resources and facilities etc purchased by the SSFA

What does the SSFA do?

• help the school provide “extras” for the pupils
• run social events for parents and children e.g.
  • Christmas Fayre
  • Sponsored Hike
  • Summer BBQ
• provide helpers for outings and special events
