Setting up a PTA
Are you a school leader wanting a PTA but don’t know where to start, or a group of like-minded parents wanting to see your children benefit from the additional funds and enrichment a PTA can bring? It sounds like a mammoth task, but it doesn’t have to be.
You have two choices. You can muddle through, learning from mistakes and feedback, and slowly grow a PTA that will benefit your school. Any effort is better than nothing, right?
Or…you can take the fast track to PTA success and let us help you with guidance, support and resources to kick-start and run a successful PTA. You’ll be putting the ‘fun’ in fundraising from day one!

Moorfield Primary’s PTA raised £2,000 in its first year. PTA Secretary Danielle Farrar said, “I’d been doing a bit of homework to see what was involved in setting up a PTA, and found lots of resources available on Parentkind – things like risk assessment forms and templates to use.”
Using social media, Danielle posted some questions to other PTAs on our PTA Hangout by Parentkind Facebook group. “It was great being able to pick other people’s brains – they answered some specific queries we had, and gave us the information we needed to progress things quickly. It really helps asking others who have been in a similar position to where we were, as we can benefit from what they’ve learned.”
