Our goal is to support and empower each other, making our children's educational
experience inclusive and caring, where every family's voice matters.
We are trying our best to enhance and enrich the lives of our children whilst at
Aylward. This can only be achieved with your thoughts and opinions.
Thank you so much for always supporting us!

We are fortunate at our school to have Friends of Aylward (PTFA - Parents, Teachers and Friends Association) that is an integral part of the school community. We are fairly new; established in
March 2022.
Thus far, we have raised just over £13,000 which we hope to spend on equipment and resources to
enhance our children’s educational experience and the school’s facilities.
Our association is about much more than simply fundraising. Friends of Aylward exists to
provide closer links between home and school and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents
and friends together socially in support of the school, working towards a common goal. It is fun
too - just ask any of the Committee members or volunteers.
All parents and members of the school community are encouraged to get involved, even if
they only have a small amount of time available. All families are automatically members of the
PTFA when their child joins our school.
Please have a look at our Welcome booklet and ‘reasons’ to join Friends of Aylward.
