About PATCH
We are Stamshaw Schools Parent And Teacher Community Hub, better known as PATCH.
So, what is PATCH all about?
We are the Parent, Teacher and Friends Association, also known as a PTFA for Stamshaw Infant School and Stamshaw Junior School. We are also a registered charity (No.1201614).
Our committee is made up of parents and staff from both schools and so you can rest assured that we will always work hard to achieve the best outcome for our schools, our families and our community.
Every child, carer and staff member at our schools automatically become members of PATCH and benefit from our activities and fundraising, so when you join one of our schools, not only does your child become one of our Stamshaw Stars, you also join the PATCH family and we are so pleased to welcome you into our wonderful community.
Here at PATCH HQ we believe that when schools, families and the community work together, great things can happen.
A little magic can take you a long way.

Our Mission
Established in March 2022 at Stamshaw Junior School, PATCH became a bigger success than we could have ever imagined and in September 2022 we were delighted to welcome Stamshaw Infant school into the PATCH family. We truly believe that when schools, families and the community work together amazing things can happen.
Whilst raising money to support our schools is at the forefront of what we do, our mission goes far beyond this. PATCH are dedicated to driving community engagement and building community relationships in order to raise the profile of our schools and bring our school community and the wider local community together. We welcome the community into the majority of our events, designed to be engaging and fun for both the children and families of the schools, and for the wider community.

Our Vision
Our vision is to create a strong and vibrant community where children can thrive and reach their full potential.

Here at PATCH we are kind, we do our best and we achieve together to help stars shine brightly.
