Welcome to the Parents and Friends Association of St James First School. We are a group of supportive parents, carers, relatives and friends who organise fundraising and social events for the benefit of pupils and parents. Raising vital funds for the school and strengthening our community. The PFA is a member's association, and all parents and carers are automatically part of it. Everyone is encouraged to get involved, whether it's a little or a lot! Recently we have funded:

  • A class set of ipads
  • A new School Library
  • Playground Markings
  • Class Wish Lists

We are currently raising funds to enrich children's outdoor playtimes and to continue Class Wish Lists supporting teachers with "above and beyond” resources that enhance our children’s learning.

We are always keen to gather new ideas in collaboration with our community of parents, staff and children - join us at our next meeting, talk to your class rep and/or email us on pfa@stjames.dsat.org.uk.

Major events in the PFA calendar include:

  • Christmas Fair
