Christ Church C of E Primary

PaFA

We are very fortunate to have an active and successful Parents and Friends Association here at Christ Church; a reflection of the strong community spirit that exists at our school.

 PaFA is a charity organisation composed of parents, carers, family members and friends of the school. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to support the school. We have two aims:

  • to provide social events for pupils, parents, carers and other family members;
  • to raise funds which are used to provide a wide range of educational resources and experiences for the children. 

We have an active team who run a number of events throughout the year: 

  • Christchurch Virtual Pet Show
  • Tuck Shops
  • Sponsored events
  • Hever Castle Triathlon
  • Christmas/Summer Fayre
  • Easter Event
  • Movie Night
  • Bingo & Quiz Nights
  • Discos

The PaFA committee team consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.
