At Manuden Primary School, we are proud to have an active and dedicated Parent Friends Association (PFA) that plays a vital role in supporting our school community. Aligned with our vision of "Growing hearts, Growing minds, Growing dreams," the PFA fosters a strong sense of partnership between parents, staff, and the wider community. Their efforts help create a nurturing environment where every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

The PFA organises a variety of events throughout the year, from social gatherings to fundraising initiatives, all aimed at enriching the educational experience for our students. By raising funds for school resources, equipment, and extracurricular activities, the PFA helps enhance our curriculum and supports the school’s commitment to providing a well-rounded education that nurtures every child’s potential. Their hard work and dedication ensure that we can offer opportunities that help our children grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

The PFA also fosters a strong community spirit, providing opportunities for families to come together and build lasting relationships. Whether it’s helping out with school events or offering support to staff, the PFA’s involvement reflects our shared commitment to growing hearts, minds, and dreams. Their contributions make a meaningful difference to the life of the school, and we are incredibly grateful for their continued support.

The PFA are always looking for new members - please contact Lesley Greatrex on pfa@manuden.essex.sch.uk if you are interested in getting involved.
