Hello, welcome to the Birdwell PTA page. 

This is where we will keep you updated with Events and News.  We also have a Facebook page called "Birdwell PTA" - if you are a Facebook user then please do like our page as we also use this to update members of our community.  Alternatively if you wish to contact us by email then please do so on PTA@Birdwellschool.co.uk 

If you would be interested in getting involved in the PTA then please let us know, we'd love you have you on board! The more parents and carers that get involved, the better!

Fundraising through STIKINS name labels

The PTA are excited to announce that we have teamed up with Stikins to offer parents the opportunity to purchase quality labels for your children’s school uniform, whilst earning the school commission at the same time! This money can then be used to continue to help purchase some of the fantastic resources that benefit our children’s learning.

As we all know, lost property is a problem in all schools and I am sure we are all familiar with our child, at some point, coming home from school with a missing item. As parents, we are aware that time is precious, which is why we think these labels are such a great idea; they simply stick onto the wash-care label of clothing. They can even be used in shoes! Naming of clothing is a school requirement and we are hoping that with this opportunity we can start to eliminate some of parents’ and teachers frustrations that surround these issues.

How it works:

Each order placed quoting the school reference number 1965 will provide the school with 30% commission. If you use the link on this page to order your labels online, the number is filled in automatically for you!

Easy Fundraising

Birdwell School PTA is registered with easyfundraising - a really easy way of making a little bit of money to pop into the PTA pot almost every time you shop. Basically when you shop online you make a quick stop via the Easyfundraising website (or app), type in whoever you want to shop with, and click through to the site to make your purchase as normal. As well as shops there are hotels, days out, holidays, tickets for shows, insurance price comparisons etc, and every time you spend via one of the 3,400 registered companies we receive a small donation from them to say thank you (at no extra cost to you!) - easy-peasy! So first of all, please click on the link (or copy it into your browser) to register https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/birdwellps/

Then all you need to do is remember to click via the site (or app) every time you shop to quickly check if your retailer is listed. There's even a whizzy widget-type button (not the technical term) that you can download to your browser which activates an automatic alert to pop up on your screen to remind you that there's a donation available if you've forgotten to check yourself - amazing! Thanks all - and happy shopping!😉

Match Funding

We are always looking at ways to increase funds for investing in our children's recreation.  One helpful member of the PTA last year undertook "Matched Funding" this is where the company that you work for matches the funding that you raise for your school.  For example, if you were to help out on a cake sale / fair stall, then you may be able to claim for your time and the funds that you raise.  Please could we ask if you could see if your employers operate this scheme.  If they do and you are willing to help out, please contact to discuss this matter.

Class Reps and PTA committee members

Any help that you can give in organising and running fundraising events would be HUGELY appreciated. A small band of willing volunteers organised many successful events last year, but the more parent helpers we have the better. If you would be willing to help out in organising the Christmas or Summer fair, or have any other ideas for fundraising events we'd love to hear from you. You can email us at PTA@Birdwellschool.co.uk or speak to any of the class reps (below). 

Your class reps are:

We still have vacancies - if you feel like you might be able to help then please contact us.
