Parentkind PTAs make a difference
What is a PTA?
A PTA is a group of volunteer parents and teachers who work together to make their school a better environment for children to learn. They raise extra funds through a wide range of fun and creative initiatives, events, and much more. They are also known as HSA, PA, PTFA, Friends of, or better still, Superheroes!
The average PTA raises £10,000 a year — how could this benefit your school ?

Whether your school has never had a PTA or you want to re-establish one, it all begins with a conversation between the parents and school. Take a look at our Ultimate guide to starting a PTA, and the ‘8 Step Guides’ to understand the basics. Just follow the steps and your PTA will be up and running in no time!
