Ways you can support the PTA fundraising

20% of all sales will go the PTA 😊

 

SUPPORT PTA EVENTS SUCH AS THE SCHOOL DISCO, SUMMER FAIR, WELLY WALK ETC

5.     Buy tickets or sponsor an event so your little ones can attend the school event via the PTA

6.     Each ticket will usually include the entry fee, contribution to the cost of the event and a small donation to the PTA.

Our latest summer fair raised over £5,000, so it’s worthwhile supporting these events whilst also making sure our kids have fun!
