FOTA

FOTA stands for the Friends of Thorntree Association.

FOTA is our PTA. It is a very active and supportive group of parents, guardians, carers and friends who all have, or know, children who currently attend or have attended Thorntree School. They organise fundraising and social events throughout the year such as summer fairs and Christmas fairs, quiz nights, cake sales and much more. The money they raise goes towards funding for school equipment and ‘extras’ for the children.

All parents, carers and friends of children attending Thorntree School are all automatically members of FOTA.
