PTA funding update
Thank you to everybody for an incredible year of fundraising for 2024/25. Overall, we raised over £21,000 profit and the summer fair raised over £6,000 profit. Due to everyone’s efforts, we were able to fund the following for the school as well as much more:
- Year 6 Fiver Challenge prizes, leavers disco and supporting the residential trip
- Reading Spine books for all classes
- Football equipment
- Resources for all classrooms including art supplies and books
- School trips & workshops
- Pantomine
- Opal Play equipment
We are currently engaging with local contractors for an overhaul of Base Camp and the Mud Kitchen in the Golden Garden.
We are looking forward to supporting the school in the upcoming year with the annual whole school pantomime, multiple school trips across all year groups, a refresh of every classroom furniture with an £150 Ikea spend plus many other resources and events.
Ikea Business Network
If you work for a corporate company, they may be part of the Ikea Business Network which grants its employees benefits such as discounts and vouchers. We regularly buy the school Ikea furniture so please get in touch if we could utilise these benefits and get more for the school.
Matched Funding
If you work for a corporate company (e.g. bank, supermarket, utility company, retailer), they most likely have a matched funding policy. The policies vary but they may be able to match your donations or the money raised at an event where you volunteer. This means more money for the PTA to go back to the school. All you have to do is reach out to your manager / HR department and they’ll be able to inform you about what they can do.
In 2024/2025 matched funding raised us an additional £2,875 so it’s an amazing resource. Please get in touch if you’d like more information.
IT/web design rep
We are in desperate need of someone who can help the PTA with IT/web design related projects. We are looking to set-up an online ticketing system for future events and would sincerely appreciate anyone who could offer help, guidance or support with this.
Get involved
We would absolutely love you to join us and share your huge range of skills, talents, and expertise. There are so many opportunities to support your school and have FUN, whether it be through fund-raising activities, helping organise/run events, or assisting with on-site tasks such as site clearance etc. If you are interested in getting involved or have ideas for fundraising or specific projects, please email pta@fairlawn.lewisham.sch.uk or let us know via the school.
