Chiswick School has a flourishing, inclusive and engaged PTA. We support the school to ensure that all students, regardless of financial background, can access the wide range of activities and resources on offer at our wonderful school.
What do we do?
- Building Community: through social events; what’s app groups for parents; parent forum meetings; social media accounts to keep the community updated; second hand uniform sales.
- Fundraising: through the monthly Car Boot Sales; events such as the Quiz Night and Summer Arts Fair; second hand uniform sales; “armchair giving”: money raised through sites such as Amazon smile; selling refreshments at school events.
What does the PTA fund?
We use our funds to cover costs for enrichment activities and resources: effectively anything which isn’t covered by the school budget. All departments and all year groups can apply for funds, through our bids’ system.
We meet as a group, along with the Senior Leadership Team, several times a year to discuss fundraising priorities and events, and how to allocate the funds.In the past year, for example, the PTA have paid for field trips; music equipment and tuition; Performing Arts uniforms and equipment; school sports team’s kit; football goals; History and English Workshops; ceramic equipment and cameras.

How to Get Involved
Getting involved with the PTA is a direct way to support your child’s school, but it is also a great way to get to know the community and meet other parents and members of staff.
The PTA is a registered charity (charity number 1113523) and every parent/carer with a child at the school is a member of the PTA.
How can I help?
We accept all offers of help, small or large! Here are examples of how you can get involved:
- Join your child(ren)’s year group what’s app. There are what’s app groups for parents and carers in every school year. These are managed by PTA reps, and are used to send relevant news and PTA information.
- Attend school events
- Sign up to support Chiswick School through Easyfundraising.
- Join the committee in a role, for example as a year group representative (rep). Reps send communication via what’s app, as well as attending termly meetings and usually helping at events. Other roles within the committee, such as treasurer and chair, are advertised as and when the position is open.
- Become a Volunteer! Add your name to our list of helpers for PTA events, for the Car boot sale, or perhaps to offer a specific skill such as gardening or painting. No commitments, just say yes when you can!
