PTFA

What’s the PTFA All About?

At Hasland Infant School, the PTFA is all about making school life fun, enriching, and memorable for our children. Over the years, we’ve raised thousands of pounds to support school projects and create new opportunities. From big projects, like our beautiful new library, to small touches like teddy bears for our reception stars, everything we do aims to enhance the children’s school experience.

What We Do

We plan and help run events to raise funds for the school. Here are some of the exciting events we’ve hosted:

Christmas Festival
Family Fun Day
Summer Fair
Year 2 Prom

Why Do We Do It?

Thanks to the generosity and support of our community, we’ve been able to fund numerous projects that benefit our children, including:

A newly refurbished library with new books
A tyre park for active outdoor play
Equipment for outdoor learning in the Foundation Stage
Christmas presents for all the children
Theatre productions to bring learning to life

Every penny raised goes directly back to enhancing learning and experiences for the children at our school.

Why Get Involved?

Joining the PTFA is a wonderful way to meet new people, share ideas, and make a difference. We welcome everyone, whether you can spare just an hour or are able to commit more time. Your help, big or small, is always valued!

Meet the Team

Our committee includes staff, parents, family, and friends who work together to make school life extra special. We hold regular meetings that are open to everyone – a great chance to share ideas, find out what’s coming up, and get involved in any way that suits you.

In July 2024, we appointed our new Chair, Hannah Casswell, and Vice Chair, Emma Harvey, to lead our enthusiastic team.

How Can You Help?

We’re always looking for volunteers to lend a hand at events. Whether it’s setting up, wrapping festive gifts, or simply spreading the word, every bit of help counts! If you’d like to volunteer, please email us at haslandpta@gmail.com or join us at our next meeting.

Stay in the Loop

To stay updated with the latest events, announcements, and volunteer opportunities, join our Facebook group, “Friends of Hasland Infant School.” It’s the perfect place to connect with other parents and be part of the fun!

A Special Project: The Library Refurbishment

In 2018, we undertook one of our largest projects to date—the complete refurbishment of the school library. With the PTFA raising £10,000 and a generous grant of £2,000 from the Hasmoor Grassland Big Local Lottery Fund, we transformed the space into a vibrant and inspiring environment for our young readers. The design, crafted by Book Space, includes cosy nooks for quiet reading and a ‘tree house’ area for group enjoyment. This wonderful space allows our children to develop a love for reading in a truly magical setting, and it stands as a testament to the community spirit that brought it to life.
