The Friends of Flintham is a group of people – Mums, Dads, Carers, Grandparents etc who like to get involved with activities and help to organise fundraising for our school.

You don’t have to commit to anything and everything, we all lead such busy lives, but if you feel that you would like to become involved or would like to know more please do get in touch with either school or Mrs Cotgrove, the Chair.

Parental support comes in many shapes and forms across various schools. We are fortunate at Flintham to be strengthening of our group by way of making the ‘The Friends of Flintham'  PTA team to harness this support.

The key roles are held by: Chair of The Friends of Flintham is Mrs Cotgrove, Treasurer is Mrs Klingbeil and Secretary is Mrs Boyle. These are just the key roles, there are other parents involved as part of the team too.

In the past, we have hosted Summer and Christmas Fayres, A Race Night, Casino Night, and Jumble Sale, that have all benefited the children significantly. Look out for any future events.

Of course the financial benefits of such a group are obvious. However, we believe that the social element and overall benefits to our school community are of upmost importance. Essentially we think that we can all gain something from having a strong Flintham family all working together for the good of the school community.

By becoming a member of The Friends of Flintham PTA team you can become an important part of helping to ensure that this idea become a reality. Please join with us to make a difference to the education, health, and welfare of our children.

If you are keen to become part of The Friends of Flintham PTA please see us on the playground or let Gail know in the School Office.

Government regulations state that ‘head teachers may not grant any leave of absence during term time unless there are exceptional circumstances’. As a consequence, holidays taken during school time will be recorded as unauthorised and may lead to a fine. These regulations have come into place because of the negative impact non-attendance has on the progress and learning of children.

It is strongly advised that holidays are only taken during school holiday times, thereby ensuring the minimum disturbance to your child’s education.

If you do find it necessary to request a leave of absence during term time, it will continue to be necessary to complete a leave of absence form. These are available from the school office and the school website. The request will be considered in line with the government’s guidelines.

Click the link to download and print a school holiday request form. Please take the completed form to the school office. The form recommends that you hand it in to school, giving at least 4 weeks notice.

Please click on the image above to apply for free school meals or by contacting Nottinghamshire County Council on 0300 500 8080.

Registering for free school meals will enable school to claim their 'pupil premium allocation'. Pupil premium is additional funding that can help support your child in school. More information about pupil premium can be found on our school website or by speaking to staff in the school office.

For the safety of everyone and to avoid congestion, we ask parents to park on Inholms Road, outside of the school safety zone. Please park carefully away from our neighbours’ drives. Please do not park opposite the school gates as this obstructs the footpath and makes it dangerous for traffic passing on the blind bend. Where possible we encourage our families to walk or bike to school – it’s much healthier. Parents should not park in the school car park to drop off and collect, unless this is for before and after school club.
