The PTA have a SCPS lottery. Tickets cost just £1 each for each weekly draw; 40% of ticket sales are donated to our school. You can buy as many tickets as you wish (and choose your lucky numbers) and it’s all paid online via a direct debit. There is a GUARANTEED cash prize to someone from our school supporter list every week, and a further chance of winning £25,000 in a separate nationwide draw every week!

Clothes Bank

You may be aware we have a clothing bank located outside the front of the school (at the opposite end to the library entrance) where you can donate good quality unwanted clothing anytime. We get 40p for every kilo we collect.  Just drop your bagged items into our green collection bin situated in the Sonning Common Library carpark.  They take clothes, shoes, accessories, bed linen, towels and soft toys (but not duvets or cushions or curtains).

Second Hand Uniform Shop

The uniform shop is open every Friday from 3:20pm. Donations of unwanted uniform can be left in the yellow bin outside the uniform shed. All items for sale are 50p and all the money goes back to support your school.

Costume Donation

If you have Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Medieval costumes leftover from these special educational days, we would appreciate it if you could donate these to the PTA. We will hold a second hand sale of these later in the year for the next year’s children that need them. There is a box for you to put your costumes in at Reception.

Cash4Coins

Did you have a holiday abroad this summer?  Do you have leftover foreign currency?  We will take it off your hands for you.  Cash4coins will take any foreign currency from us and will send us £s in return.  Every little € or $ helps.  If you have any currency to donate please put it in an envelope and post it into the PTA post box outside the Reception.

Matched Funding

Are you able to help? Did you know that our fundraising efforts could be potentially doubled if your employer offers a ‘match funding scheme’.  A number of employers now offer Match Funding scheme where the employer will match some or all of the amount raised at a fundraising event.  We would be very grateful if you could see if your employer has a match funding scheme (the name of the scheme may vary depending on the company) and if they are willing to match funding at any of our events.  We have a number of events in the pipeline this year and it would make a huge difference to our fundraising efforts, if the amounts could be match by an employer.  You may need to be involved, but please note this could be as simple as helping out on the day and we will not ask you to arrange the event or join the PTA if your employer can support the school!  This is just a few of the companies who operate a matched funding scheme: Whitbread, GSK, PwC, Barclays, Boots, Ocado and many more. For more information please contact us on e-mail pta@sonning-common.oxon.sch.uk or via the school office.
