ABOUT FRIENDS

The Friends of Burhill School is a PTA (Parent and Teacher Association) which organises events, socials and fundraising opportunites.  These are outside of the usual school hours and provide a sense of community, a lot of fun and additonal funds to support the children of Burhill.  

FACT

Anyone can get involved in a PTA

​

You can get involved as much or as little as you want and leave when you need to.

​

You can gain experience to get back into work or improve your CV

​

We do much more than serve coffee and cakes

FICTION

PTA's are a cliquey bunch of bossy do-gooders and I won’t fit in.

​

I don’t have anything to offer

​

I’ve got a younger child so I can’t help out

HOW
CAN

YOU

HELP?

There is much to running a PTA - but that doesn't mean you have to DO much!

​

Many hands make light work, and that is why volunteering just a small amount of your time can make a huge difference.

Those involved are so diverse that it is hard to profile a typical person.  Take a look at our Get Involved page to see the variety of roles we have need help with.
