The Friends of Gillingham Primary Academy is a fundraising association to which all parents, family and friends are welcome to be involved in. We have one aim, and that is to help financially support the school with outings, trips, equipment and social events throughout the year.
We usually meet once every half term to arrange upcoming events and we welcome any ideas and help, even if you are unable to make the meetings, please pass on any fresh ideas you may have.
Our Friends can be followed on Facebook at:

You can make a real difference! More parents involved with their PTA means more money raised through more fun events, benefitting everyone.
What value do the Friends bring to school?
- Fundraising – whether it’s paying for extras or essentials, every penny directly benefits our children
- Fun – our events are enjoyed by children, parents and teachers alike, and are a great way to bring the whole school community closer together
- Parent voice – discussing where fundraised money is spent, talking to teaching staff and everything in between contributes to school decision-making.
