FORA is the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) for Ridgeway Primary Academy who run events and activities throughout the year to raise much needed funds for our school. Everyone is welcome to join and any help no matter how big or small is really appreciated.

FORA regularly raises thousands each year to support our school - funding new play equipment, additional books for reading corners, buying materials to ensure our grounds are maintained, as well as many other items for use by the children. Their support is vital in ensuring we can offer the 'extras' which bring colour and fun to the school day.

Each year FORA holds non-uniform days, quizzes, raffles, fêtes and fairs as well as a special visit from Santa! They are always looking for volunteers to support them, or new ideas to help raise more money for the school. FORA is a registered charity. They have their own Facebook page which can be accessed here

PTA core events include:

• Halloween Disco

• Santa’s Grotto

• Mother’s Day Sale

• Bingo Evenings

If you would like to get in touch with FORA, please contact Jenna Bullock, FORA Chair, by clicking here or ask to speak to Class Teacher, Hannah Jacks, our staff representative, via the School Office.

In 2025, FORA will be working alongside BannerBuzz to help publicise their events. Thanks to a scheme run by the company, a new FORA Events publicity banner will be made to display in the playground, free of charge. Thank you to BannerBuzz for their support.
