Parent Teacher Association
KSHS PTA is a small group of mums, dads and teachers who aim to raise funds to purchase additional items that enhance both the learning and environment of KSHS students, which cannot be purchased via the school budget. We also encourage close interaction between parents, pupils and teaching staff.
We fundraise via the 100Club, national charity events such as Comic Relief and Children in Need and clothing collections as well as organising or supporting events. Every half term we meet and decide how we are to distribute funds after receiving direct requests by staff and students.
Our PTA, now in its 68th year, is a registered charity, number 519897, as well as being a member of the PTA-UK, which is the national charity that advances education and supports PTAs throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
You can also apply to join the 100Club lottery by completing the application form found below.
