The Parent Friends Association (PFA) is a committed group of volunteer parents, friends and staff who work together to support and enrich life at the academy and make school a better environment for children to learn. We raise extra funds through a wide range of fun and creative initiatives, events, and much, much more.

To make any of this possible we need volunteers! There are 2 ways in which you can join.

• Sign up and apply to be on the PFA; this requires a formal application where references are required, DBS check and safeguarding training, this is a Unity Schools Partnership requirement. This route means you can be on site, in school for PFA events without supervision by a teacher/DBS checked member of the PFA
• Join in a less official capacity and help with planning, running events and fundraisers – this route means you would not be allowed in school without supervision.

If you would like to join or simply would like some more information on what we do and what the commitment is please email us at pfa@westrow-academy.org

Throughout the year, the PFA plans and delivers a wide range of fundraising events, held both during the school day and at weekends, often as part of wider community activities. Past events have included discos, fetes, and cake sales. Funds raised through these events are used to provide valuable resources that enhance our children’s educational experiences.
