PTA - Parents’ Association
The Haydon School PTAs mission is to make the school a better place for children to learn. The PTA brings together parents, teachers and children to raise funds and strengthen the school community. The PTA is a registered charity and all our funds go back into Haydon school to the benefit of our students.

Thanks to all the support of Haydon families, this academic year!
It’s been a tough few years with COVID19 cancelling all our fundraising events over the last few years.

How can you help?
- Join our team! The committee is a small team that organises events and fundraising initiatives. We meet every 2 months to coordinate dates, brainstorm ideas and assign responsibilities for each event.
- Volunteer at events. We understand not everyone has the time to sit in on meetings and plan events. Before each event we usually do a shout out for volunteers to help us with specific tasks at events mostly selling refreshments or manning a table.
- Support our initiatives. Buy a ticket or novelty item, come to the school productions and shows and support our stalls. We rely on donations for prizes and welcome any contribution no matter how small.
- Support us while you do your shopping! You can earn FREE donations every time you shop online. We are registered with Easyfundraising and Amazon Smile. https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk. &. https://smile.amazon.co.uk
- Ask your company to fund or match fund us. Certain companies partner with PTAs to fund certain events or to sponsor prizes. Big companies will ‘match’ some of the takings at events and this will often mean an extra £500 or £1,000 to the school.
- Join our Facebook group ‘HAYDON PARENTS ASSOCIATION’ keeping you in the loop, detailing planned events and a place to share ideas and suggestions.
- Donate any Haydon branded uniform you no longer need or want that is in good re-sellable condition. Haydon PTA will enable those in need to be able to purchase items at a lower cost. Drop your donations at the school office.
The Difference Haydon Donations make
We are very proud that we could contribute £20 000 to the cooling system for St Marys Gym that will be undertaken during the summer holiday in 2022.
In the past we have also contributed to the drinking fountains and picnic benches to enable the students to make the most of the all too rare sunny days. The PTA have funded the running of a monthly food club, provided costumes and lighting for the drama club and a sound system for the hall.
Things that our school needed your help to purchase
- Visualiser and electronic whiteboard
- CAD Embroidery machine
- Camping equipment for Duke of Edinburgh students
- Camera’s for media and photography students
- Picnic tables and benches
- Various sporting equipment, including new goals and badminton/netball goals
- Table tennis tables
- Books and Kindles
