BAPTFA applied for and gained Charity status in January 2023. Banking arrangements were then
sought but took until later in the year to be initiated. Until such time the PTFA was grateful that the
school was able to hold in safekeeping cash raised through fundraisin8 activities.
The PTFA, whilst still in its infancy within Bangor Academy, has recognised the need to encourage and
develop engagement between the school, students, families, and the local community. All parents,
carers and pupils attending the school are encouraged to become involved in and support
fundraising activities. In the past Academic year, fundraising activities included Bag packin8 by the
Sixth Form, Bake-off event, Christmas card design and sales, pre-loved uniform sale. Through local
fundraising and school community engagement we have been able to develop additional resources
which will support pupils within the school and their families who have been directly impacted by
the cost-of-living crisis.
