What is Friends of Tufnell Park Primary School?

Are you a former pupil, a teacher or staff member, are you a parent or do you simply take an interest in the Tufnell Park community?

The Friends of Tufnell Park Primary School is a group run by volunteers with an interest in the school. It is separate from the school’s PTA (Parent Teachers Association). Friends of Tufnell Park Primary School allows those who no longer have children at the school or otherwise have a direct connection to the school to continue to remain informed about and to support the school.

It is free and open to join for anyone that has had a relationship with the school, for example as a former pupil, teacher or staff member, but it is of course also open to current parents and others in the local community.

The primary school is very much one of the foundation stones of the local community and research shows that attending a good primary school has more impact on children’s progress than their gender or family background.

To improve the success of the school and the impact it has on children and the local community, Friends of Tufnell Park Primary School aims to maintain the link between former pupils and staff members to current pupils and staff members. To achieve this we will keep you informed about the school with a quarterly newsletter, we will organise occasional social events and we will try to bring former students and staff into the school in order to support and enrich the school’s curriculum as well as improve links with the local community.

Friends will also aim to actively support the school financially. Any fundraising will be done exclusively through the Tufnell Park Primary PTA  who with their charitable status benefit from Gift Aid which allows charities to claim an extra 25p from the UK government for every £1 you give.
