Who are the Edgbarrow PTA?

Everyone’s Welcome!

  • We’re a group of motivated parents, who enjoy working

together to support the school!

  • Our objectives are to raise much needed funds, to bring

parents & teachers together and to have fun doing so!

  • This year the PTA will raise ~£25,000 for the School.

Money directly invested into our children's education.

  • There are many opportunities to be involved, whether

you have just a couple of hours for one activity a year,

  • r want to be regularly involved in running the PTA.
  • All PTA roles are open for election/re-election – but in

particular we are looking for a new Treasurer, as Julia regretfully has to focus on other commitments.

Current Elected PTA Team

  • Andrew Johnson: Chair
  • Richard Love: Vice Chair
  • Sarah Rooke: Secretary
  • Julia Smith: Treasurer

activities, others as a service to students, parents and staff.

together the Crowthorne community and local traders.

  • Working with the School, the PTA play a key role in
  • rganising the Careers Evening, helping students

investigate different opportunities for work or study.

How does the PTA work?

The PTA have an active dialogue with the school, and meet formally with members of the teaching team every two to three months. The school's Senior Leadership Team forward requests for expenditure to the PTA and decisions are made by consultation based on priority and fairness. Different PTA members take on specific projects, depending on their time, interests and skills. It’s a great way to remain involved in your children's education and school community – even in secondary school with no playground ‘drop off’!

Key Fundraising Activities in 2017:

  • Cash for Coins: donate unwanted foreign change.
  • Bags to School – clothes recycling.
  • 2nd Hand Uniform Donations & Sales.
  • Reading FC Discount Tickets
  • Annual Quiz Evening – Teacher Challenge!
  • Mufti - £1 wear what you wish days.
  • Sponsored Walk - raised £8,930 last year!
  • Christmas Gift Shopping Fair.
  • Concerts and other event catering.
  • And we’d love to hear your ideas for more!

Additional Financial Support via the PTA

Matching Donations

  • Many companies have match

funding agreements that let you maximize the impact of your charitable donations and activities.

  • The PTA is registered for:
  • Benevity
  • Consiva
  • Ammado
  • Why not check if your firm will

support you in your next charity challenge? In many cases they will match 100% of what you raise!

  • Edgbarrow requests parents support in

raising funds through voluntary donation.

  • Monies raised are used to fund

textbooks and resources which will help maintain the high standard of progress and attainment.

  • The school sends out an annual request

for parental support

  • These funds go directly to the school
  • www.justgiving.com/edgbarrowschool
  • Questions can be sent to:

schoolfund@edgbarrowschool.co.uk

  • Earn money for the school whenever you

shop online!

  • It does not cost you a penny… but every

£ you spend generates a small donation (and many donations add up to a lot!)

  • Hundred of popular stores involved:

Amazon, Tesco, M&S, John Lewis, eBay, www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/edgb arrowpta

Remember, you can gift to us! Edgbarrow School PTA is a registered charity: number 288076

New ‘Fun Fundraising’ ideas for 2018?

Ideas to discuss:

  • ‘Spring Clean’ Car Boot Fair: Clear all those unwanted items,

without all the hassle of eBay postage, held on the field, or guaranteed in the dry using the sports complex.

  • Summer Concert: Involving the Music and Drama Departments, a

fun event, drawing on the students skills and work already prepared for the many concerts and shows, that also could raise significant funds with a modest ticket fee & refreshments 

  • Cycle Ride/Fun Run: Sporting Challenge, in conjunction with the

Sports Department. Get Fit, have fun, raise sponsorship, and where possible ‘company match’ your charitable donations?

  • All ideas welcome? mail: pta@edgbarrowschool.co.uk
