We run events and support the school throughout the year. Our aim is to fund raise while bringing the school community together and we work closely with the school to ensure the hard-earned funds are channelled to create the biggest impact for the students.

We aim to meet once or twice a term, usually on an evening in the school library, to discuss and plan events. This is where you’ll have a chance to put forward your own ideas, volunteer your time or just come along to hear what’s going on and meet a few fellow parents and carers.

We are in the process of setting up a new email address. Meanwhile, if you wish to contact the PTA, please email the Chair, Nikki Smith, via the school office: office.4054@bartholomew.epatrust.org.

easyFundraising

We are registered with easyfundraising, which means you can raise FREE donations for us every time you shop online. Over 6,000 shops and sites will donate to us when you use easyfundraising to shop with them – at no extra cost to yourself! These donations really mount up and make a BIG difference to us, so we’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to sign up and support us. It’s completely FREE and only takes a moment! 

How it works

• Set up your own easyfundraising account here
• Before you make an online purchase, check if the retailer is registered. If so, click the link through from the easyfundraising site and the donation will be made automatically when you complete your purchase
• Nothing extra comes out of your pocket - the donation comes as part of the commission paid by the retailer to the easyfundraising site

It is very straightforward but you can find out more about how it works here.

Match Funding

Match Funding is a fantastic scheme whereby employers provide funding for organisations such as secondary schools. It is a very simple and easy means of extra funding. As an employee it doesn’t cost you anything, except maybe a little help at an event but could mean hundreds of pounds of extra money for our PTA, which directly benefits the children. In many cases it is as simple as approaching your HR department and finding out about their scheme (the name of the scheme may differ depending on the company).
