Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The Bartholomew PTA is a small, self-governing body made up of parents, carers and staff who meet once or twice a term. The PTA supports the School through fundraising and helping with events. Belonging to the PTA offers parents and carers a useful opportunity to get involved, meet one another and hear more about the School.
News & Events
Notices about the PTA events and meetings will appear on this page, in the school newsletters and on the Bartholomew School PTA Facebook page.
The PTA are meeting on Wednesday 26th June at 7.00pm in the library and all are welcome. The PTA is growing all the time with new parents joining and we are all grateful for their support of our school.

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).

Fundraising for the New Library
The PTA's main focus last year was to raise funds towards the new library. Various fundraising events took place including a raffle, quiz night and through local dramatic group, The Bartholomew Players. Huge thanks to everyone in our community who supported our goal and donated generously.
The library was formally opened at the beginning of the 2022/23 academic year. Please follow this link to our Library page.
