PSFA stands for Parents, Staff & Friends Association.
All parents and carers of pupils at the school are members of the PSFA. As are all the school staff. Everyone is welcome - parents, carers, grandparents, school staff and friends of the school. Parents and carers may remain a member of the PSFA after their children have left the school as a friend.
The PSFA is run entirely by volunteer parents, carers and staff who support the life of the school and enhance opportunities for our children. At the heart of St Saviour’s PSFA is a shared commitment to our school values and to building a strong, caring community where everyone feels welcome, connected and included.
Community engagement and shared values
The PSFA plays an important role in supporting the school’s commitment to community engagement, social responsibility and inclusion. Through fundraising events, the PSFA helps ensure that all children are able to benefit from opportunities that enrich their learning, wellbeing and personal development. This partnership reflects our belief in working together with families and the wider community to help every child flourish.

What we do:
The PSFA meets once every half term to share ideas, plan events and agree fundraising activities. Our events not only raise valuable funds but also create wonderful experiences for children and families. The highlights of the year are the Christmas and summer fairs, much-loved community events that raise significant funds for the school and bring together parents and friends in a spirit of celebration and generosity.
We also provide opportunities for parents and carers to meet others from across different year groups, helping to build friendships and strengthen community.
Why get involved?

Whether you can help regularly or just occasionally, every contribution makes a difference. Many hands make light work, and all support is greatly appreciated.
The Governors have agreed outline terms for a nursery to lease the school house! The nursery will benefit local families and the school by providing extra income and in time, we hope, more pupils. We are now fund-raising for the school’s start-up costs, which might come to around £65k.

Strong local support is a good basis for appealing to grant-giving bodies. So please back us if you're able. Every pound will help to get a nursery up and running. For other fundraisers, please send us your ideas, or just watch this space!
