Greenfield School Association (GSA) & Friends Of Pulloxhill School (FOPS)
We are lucky to have two active ‘Parent Teacher Associations’ for our Academy. Greenfield is represented by GSA (Greenfield School Association) and Pulloxhill by FOPS (Friends of Pulloxhill School). Both associations are registered charities, Greenfield is Charity Number 1096615 and Pulloxhill is 1091439.
As a parent of a child in either school you are automatically a member of the respective PTA. If you would like to get involved in any way and want to join the committee or have any fundraising ideas please speak to a member of the existing committee. They welcome any ideas or input from you. The committees work very hard, however, fundraising events can only happen if there are enough people involved to organise and run the events.
The PTA’s aim to raise funds to benefit the children at each school, this can be for curricular or extra-curricular purposes.
Facebook Page
Both PTA’s have closed Facebook Pages. Please join to keep up to date with information on upcoming events.

How you can help?
Not every parent has the time to join the committee. However, there are many other ways you can help throughout the year. These include being a parent helper at an event, running a stall at a Fayre, buying raffle tickets, sourcing raffle prizes, wrapping presents and, most importantly, supporting the events that are put on.
In addition, are you lucky enough to work for a Company that offers Match Funding? Some companies will match the fundraising efforts of their staffs chosen charity. Please ask, we might be lucky.
