Friends of TGMS (our PTA)
FOTGMS Annual General Meeting 2024-25
Who we are and what we do:
All parents at Tylers Green Middle School are members of the Friends of Tylers Green Middle School association, which is a registered charity (no. 1066968).
The Friends of TGMS committee is made up of parents from all years of the school who wish to volunteer as a member. We have a certain number of positions on the committee, but many parents offer their skills and organisational help without committing to a specific committee role.
Thanks to the participation of the many parents who help us with organisation we can offer many events throughout the school year both for pupils and parents. These events are well-attended and greatly enjoyed, and at the same time, help raise funds for Tylers Green Middle School.
Some of the events that we run with success are:
· Discos for the whole school and our Year 6 Leavers
· Christmas and Summer Fairs
· Hot dog days for the children at the end of each half-term
· An annual 'fun' day (e.g. Bouncy Day)
· Pre-loved Uniform Sales
· Bag2School collections
· Refreshments for School Productions
· Ice Cream Sales (always a favourite!)
All money raised is used to support the school, funding items which are needed to enhance the school and benefit as many pupils as possible.
In the last academic year, the funds which we have raised have provided:
· Redevelopment of our wonderful Environment Area
· 2 touch-screen laptops to support children with additional needs
· A new set of high-quality headsets for the ICT Suite
· Bouncy Day and Y6 Leavers' Evening
· An LED Lighting Rig in the Hall to support improved pupil productions
· A new PTA Shed
All parents are welcome to attend meetings, as wider support is much needed with certain events. Please remember the events are only a success if well supported by both helpers and those taking part, so we encourage you to come along to support us during the year.
