We work on many events and with various community groups such as On your Bike and Sonning Common 10k. Regular events include a Christmas fair and a Summer Fair, two school discos, an Easter trail, a Christmas gift room and a Christmas tree sale. Thank you to those volunteers that have helped us with events and fundraising over the years, including Mr Simic and Kites Kitchen staff.
As well as running events we support many activities to raise funds for the school. This includes the clothes bank, commissions on name tag clothes labelling, our school lottery program, easyfundraising, cash4coins, Christmas card project, match funding opportunities and our second hand uniform shop. Check out our PTA fundraising schemes to see if you can help.
This academic year (2025-26) the PTA have already bought new rubbish drums and resources for Diwali. We are now working on raising funds to replace some of the athletics equipment (bounce mats and triple jump mats) and to provide shorts for the girls’ football strip. Thanks to the success of the 10k run over the last 3 years, we are now in a position to investigate options to install a running track looping around the field and paddock area.
