Welcome to the Friends of English Martyrs Association – ‘Doing It For The Kids’
This small but extremely hardworking group of people continue to give our school invaluable help. Their many fundraising activities have enabled the school to purchase equipment, which would normally be beyond our budget. They support the school in many other ways too – they run the lottery, buy football and netball kits, pay for Christmas parties and subsidise school educational trips, including the Year 6 residential trip.
Would you consider helping out and becoming a member? This does not mean endless meetings, but giving as little or as much time as you are able. Please come along to any meeting by the PTA if you can help out. See the school diary for more details of upcoming dates as well as checking this page or email Andrea Pankiw (Chair of PTA) pta@englishmartyrs.co.uk
