How You Can Help
We’re always looking for new ideas, volunteers, and supporters – whether that’s running a stall at an event, helping with social media, applying for Match Funding/grants, or attending our casual PTA meetings (held at the pub!).
Even 30 minutes of your time can make a difference, and it’s a great way to meet other parents while supporting the school.
Boost Our Fundraising with Match Funding!
Did you know that many companies offer match funding for employee volunteering or fundraising efforts? If your employer participates, you could help us secure up to £500 towards one of our PTA events—just by applying!
It’s a fantastic way to double the impact of your support, and it only takes a few minutes to check if your company offers this scheme. If you're unsure, speak to your HR team or get in touch with us—we’d be happy to help!
Amazon Wish Lists – Support Your Child’s Class
Looking for an easy way to support the school? We’ve created Amazon wish lists for each year group, filled with books and supplies that would directly benefit your child’s class.
If you’d like to contribute, simply browse the list and choose an item to donate—it’s a small gesture that makes a big difference!
