Events happening this term...
Friends of Morley St Francis - PTA Group
Our PTA is about much more than simply fundraising. The PTA exists to provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring parents, staff and other supporters together socially in support of the school and working towards a common goal.
PTA remit:
The object of the Association (the Objects) is to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by:
- Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school;
- Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils. Please keep your eye on our Notice Board located in school and ‘Like’ us on Facebook to keep up to date. (By Liking and using our Facebook page you agree to abide by the Facebook Policy)
