Friends of Heathcote School
About
Friends of Heathcote School PTA is a Parent/Teacher Association (PTA). All parents automatically become part of ‘Friends of Heathcote PTA’ when their child joins the school. There is a committee who organise specific events and fundraising activities. : The current committee is formed by the following parents;
Chair – Vicki
Deputy Chair – Shelley
Treasurer – Graham
Secretary – Hannah
School Link – Sam
The main aim of our Friends of Heathcote School PTA is to raise much needed funds for our school. Due to cuts in budgets our school is under immense pressure to be able to provide our children with the basics. That’s where we step in to provide the extras that our children need and enjoy!
We try to set the right example for our children, by showing them that if we work as a team, act as a community we can achieve great things.
Throughout the school year we will invite your family to join in with the fund-raising events and team meetings we host by contributing time, money, skills or advice. Our main events are Quiz nights, Bingo nights, Wine Tasting, Christmas and Mother’s Day raffles and also plan to host many more. We are present at school parent evenings and other school events selling sweets.
If you can think of any other family fun fundraisers, we’d love to hear from you.
There are so many ways to get involved; you could join the team as a Co-Chair, volunteer to help organise or run an event, come up with fundraising ideas, join the Friends of Heathcote School PTA. Many hands make light work.
Roll your sleeves up and get involved, all the money raised by Friends of Heathcote School PTA goes directly towards enhancing your child’s experience and their school life at Heathcote Secondary School.
Due to fundraising efforts of the PTA team it has been possible to support the purchase of pupil awards -without your support projects like these will not be possible.

Matched Funding
If you work for an organisation and they have a matched funding policy (sometimes called a corporate social responsibility policy), any money you / we raise for the school could be matched by your employer. Companies may match the fundraising total for an event, or for the stall that their employee is working on. Please check with your company and let us know and we will do the rest!
We are always available and if you think your company might be able to help we would love to hear from you, please contact friendsofheathcoteschool@hotmail.com
