The PTA work tirelessly each year to raise extra funds for our school, so that we can buy fantastic resources as well as making contributions to larger projects. Recent purchases have included mobile white boards, maths resources, and the materials to create a new and calming sensory area.

Fundraising activities over recent years have included quiz nights, school discos, film nights and cake sales. We are often to be found running a stall at our village events or a bar at school events such as sports days and nativity plays.

We appreciate the hard work that goes into running such events, but they are not possible without the help of the parents of our pupils. If you have a fundraising idea, or know contacts in the local area, or can spare half an hour to help with setting up an event – ALL help is welcome and appreciated.

All parents and carers are automatically members of the PTA. Please speak to a member of the PTA to get involved in helping our school raise these much needed extra funds.

We are a registered Charity; number 1002238

We would like to give a special thanks to Banner Buzz (www.bannerbuzz.co.uk) for sponsoring our PTA banner.

If you have any ideas/suggestions of activities you would like to see happen, please don't be shy and get in touch with anyone from the PTA or email us at ptachair@st-nicholas.wokingham.sch.uk

The PTA benefits when you shop via this link by receiving a percentage of the fee paid, at no additional cost to you! Nearly all large retailers are there including Amazon, eBay, M&S, John Lewis, Argos and various supermarkets. If you buy insurance, holidays and larger purchases through this scheme, the PTA receive an even bigger pay out! Please join if you haven’t already done so.

Your School Lottery

www.yourschoollottery.co.uk/lottery/school/st-nicholas-ce-primary-school

Your School Lottery is our weekly lottery draw which not only raises vital money for the school but also gives our parents, carers and school staff a weekly chance to win a cash prize!

Taking part is extremely simple as it takes just 1 minute to sign up. Tickets cost £1 per week and you can pay by direct debit or card payment. The draw takes place each Saturday and there is a guaranteed school winner every single week. The prize amount depends on how many tickets are in the draw so the more entries the bigger the prize.

There is also a chance to win the £25,000 jackpot by matching the winning six-digit number. There were 8 lucky jackpot winners in 2020 so it does happen! 

For every £1 ticket bought, 40p goes to the school. This adds up to £1,000 per year for just 50 weekly tickets!

Amazon Smile - You shop, Amazon gives!

https://smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/1002238-0

Please support us by selecting St Nicholas CE Primary School as your chosen charity, St Nicholas Hurst PTA. It’s quick and easy to do!  Once signed up, shop on Amazon as normal and Amazon will donate 0.5% of purchases towards the PTA.

Match Funding

This scheme is when your company matches the amount of money raised at a fundraising event. Microsoft and O2 have recently match funded events. Ask your company if they can match funds – there is nothing to lose! Once you have confirmed that they do, sign up to be involved at one of our events. Once the event is complete, we will provide you with the total amount raised, the PTA bank account and photo evidence! Take that back to your company so that they can match our funds!

Sponsorship

Ask your company if they will sponsor our newsletter, HurstFest, Dinner Dance, or any other PTA event. No amount is too small.

Gift Aid Monthly Contributions

If you are a taxpayer, the PTA can claim 25p on every pound that you donate. We ask you to sign the declaration below. Any amount helps.
