The Friends of Staines Prep

The Friends of Staines Prep, our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), known as The Friends, bring together pupils, their parents and families and the staff.

The committee is made up of enthusiastic parents and staff throughout the school who raise funds for us, by organising a range of fun events and activities for the children and their families throughout the year. The Friends rely on parents to volunteer at both the planning stages of any event, as well as on the day itself. Please come along to our coffee mornings to hear about how you can get involved.

Upcoming Events

The current committee is made up of the following members:

The Friends organise a number of events each term, for both the children in school time and weekend events for families. These include:

• Annual fireworks event
• Pupil discos
• Someone Special Gifting Room, for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day
• Cheese and Wine for parents, while pupils attend a school event

There are also a number of events for the whole family each academic year including the Fireworks Extravaganza, Christmas Event with Santa’s Grotto and the Summer BBQ Event.

The funds raised from these events are used to buy equipment and facilities to enhance the environment for the children. This includes:

• Equipping the newly completed Home Economics Classroom
• Ukuleles for the music room
• Refurbishment of the school library
• A trim trail
• And many many more…

We are always keen to hear suggestions from our school community about what to raise funds for next. Please do get in touch. You can contact the Friends by email at thefriends@stainesprep.co.uk or you can speak to any of us in the school playground or follow us on Facebook.
