Welcome to Chagford C of E Primary School Parents, Teachers and Friends Association The PTFA is a registered charity (1107183) with the aim of raising funds for the benefit of all the children at Chagford C of E Primary School. Our goal is to complement and enrich the children’s education, and provide extra equipment/facilities not covered by the general school budget. All parents are automatically members of the PTFA and are welcome to participate as much or as little as they wish. Anyone connected to the school is invited to attend meetings which are currently being held online half-termly. New faces are always welcome. We organise a wide range of activities which support the school and pupils, while also building strong relationships with our wider school family and local community. We are always in need of volunteers! It could be putting up posters around town, using contacts to engage local media or request prize donations, sharing fundraising ideas, technical knowhow….if you can help in any way please do get in touch by emailing chagfordschoolptfa@gmail.com Other simple ways to help are by registering for Easyfundraising and AmazonSmile. If you are shopping online anyway, a percentage of what you pay is donated to Chagford PTFA without costing you anything extra. In the first part of the last school year (2019/20), we raised just over £4,000 through the Sponsored Swim, Christmas Fayre, cake raffle, play refreshments, Easyfundraising and Amazon Smile, as well as running a very successful book drive in the local community. Sadly, the current challenging situation has rather stymied our fundraising efforts. However, our children are all back at school and now, more than ever, we need to raise funds to support and enrich their school experience. So far this term we have agreed to pay for the next year of the accelerated reader programme, purchased two new netball posts and sewing machines to support our After School Clubs, along with providing petty cash for each class to enable easy access to immediately required extra supplies (e.g. for projects). The guidelines for making a funding request can be found here. To make a funding request, please complete the Funding Request Form.

The Three Hares Fundraising Initiative
Working collaboratively with the PTFAs of the trio of schools that make up the Three Hares, we are excited to launch a brand new fundraising initiative, supported by the parents, carers, local businesses and communities to provide the children of our schools with access to the best possible school learning experiences. We also hope to improve the three schools to make them attractive to new families both in and outside the catchment areas, and forge stronger relationships between the schools and its local communities.
