UPCOMING EVENTS:  

CLICK HERE TO VISIT OUR SCHOOL ANGEL PAGE - from Amazon, John Lewis, Argos, Asda George and so many more stores... 

It only takes 1 extra click and yet raises money for the school just by you buying the exact same thing you planned to buy from the same place at the same price. 

Why not save the link as a bookmark on your phone right next to your Amazon app, then every time you go to the Amazon app, click this instead, click Amazon and it will automatically open your Amazon app - it's that easy!

Well known companies have agreed to donate a portion of their profit (up to 5% of your purchase) to the PTA each time you click on to their website from our School Angel page. More information can be found in our guide at the bottom of this page on how it works.

RAISED:  Our ability to raise money has been greatly hampered by the situation with Covid and we look forward to new innovations in the events that we organise and the ways in which the PTA function as a charity and as community builder.  Some figures from pre-Covid are as follows:

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 £854.54 as of the beginning of October and requires very little effort.  Thank you for all your 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.  Lots will currently be remote and so are even easier to get involved with.
• 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.
