Friends & Families (PTA)

Friends & Families is a new parent-led group, designed to strengthen the connection between home and school across Glenmoor & Winton Academies.

As children move into secondary school, we know that parental involvement naturally changes. Busy schedules, work commitments, and growing student independence often mean that parents have less time to be regularly involved in school life. We want to reassure you that we understand this completely.

That’s why GW Friends and Families is built on flexibility. We welcome any support you can offer—whether it’s once a term, once a year, or whenever you happen to have a moment. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a genuine difference.

There are several ways you can be involved on an ad‑hoc basis, including:

• Offering help at fundraising events
• Helping to run or organise our second‑hand uniform shop
• Attending occasional Parent Voice meetings to share your views
• Volunteering your skills, ideas, or expertise when you’re able

You don’t need to commit to regular meetings or ongoing duties, just being part of our network means we can reach out when opportunities arise, and you can choose what works for you.

If you would like to join GW Friends and Families or simply want to be kept informed of opportunities to help, please contact us at GWFF@glenmoorandwinton.org.uk. We would love to have you involved in whatever way suits you.
