Fielding Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA) is a registered charity with its prime purpose of organising fun, social events for parents and children at the school that raise money for extra-curricular activities for pupils. This helps parents and children get to know one another and build a sense of school community. The PTFA has a long tradition of organising innovative and exciting events for all the family and some for the grown ups too. The PTFA depends on the work of parent volunteers. Money raised from events helps the school provide more for our children and pupils.

Events include organising Magic Shows, Movie Afternoons, Virtual Balloon Races, Reindeer Poop Bingo, Circus's, Photo Competition and Sunflower Competitions to more adult related activities including Quiz Nights, Comedy Nights, Silent Discos and lots more.

Get involved

If you are a parent, guardian or a relative of a child at Fielding or a member of staff then you are a member of the Fielding PTFA. We rely on volunteers to run the PTFA, to help organise and run individual events and to form the PTFA Committee each year with the majority having full time jobs.

Each class has a WhatsApp group – just ask your Class Rep.  The PTFA also uses a platform called ClassList.  ClassList allows you to see who is in your class, but it’s also a feed of information from the PTFA on a weekly basis. Join here:

Who, how and where

As the Fielding Primary School PTFA is a registered charity, we have an annually elected committee (drawn from parent volunteers) which is generally made up of a Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. In addition, parents volunteer to be Class Reps and we are also lucky enough to have many talented parents who assist the committee with other jobs such as publicity materials, updating website pages, artwork, event planning, communications, design and sponsorship.

• Chair:  Conor Lyne
• Co-Chairs:  Prashant Patel, Jen Timoshanko
• Secretary: Lesley Yueng, Steven Hirschorn
• Treasurer:  Steven Hirschorn
• Events Team: Polly Foley, Amanda Abbey
• Communications: Nolan O’Connor
• Eco Team:  Lucy Floyer

We generally hold a PFTA meeting twice a term, and small working groups organise each event - everyone helps in any way they can. If you would like to get involved, contact us:
