PTA EVENTS CALENDAR FOR THIS HALF TERM:
RAISED: The Christmas Fair was a fantastic success in 2019 raising £1,653.38. Christmas Wreath Making raised £331.48; the clothes collection in December raised £222.50; and the school disco raised £131.43. School Angel has raised £663.87 for very little effort. Thank you for all your support!
DONATED: Donations were made to the school for a pantomime trip, theatre visit, benches for the playground, paint to decorate the playground, swimming for older years, school trips for each class, Yr 6 leavers books, plus a large donation towards laptops and furniture for the working corridor in the new building. 2018-2019 donations to the school totalled £7,178.17.
In 2020 the PTA will be purchasing a Buddy Bench for the playground, as requested by children from the School Council on behalf of their classmates. With the exciting prospect of Phase 2 building works commencing, the majority of funds raised will now go towards helping fund brand new fixed play equipment for the children to enjoy once the school build is completed.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Below are just a few of the ways you can get involved and support:
- Becoming a class rep for your child's class or suggesting new ways to raise or spend funds.
- Helping to run or organise events. Every bit of help, however big or small is appreciated.
- Taking part in our events and initiatives throughout the year to make them a success!

JOINING OR HELPING THE PTA: The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of Riseley C of E Primary School is run by a group of parent and teacher volunteers. Some of the volunteers have more official roles and titles (see below) but everyone's efforts, ideas and involvement is important and greatly appreciated.
Meeting for an hour every 4-6 weeks, we plan fundraising events and initiatives that look to raise much-needed funds to support the school for the benefit of every pupil. If you’ve not joined the ranks, please do! You can get involved as much or as little as your time allows and if you have any questions then get in touch with a member of the committee.
