Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The Bartholomew PTA is a small, self-governing body made up of parents, carers and staff who meet once or twice a term. The PTA supports the School through fundraising and helping with events. Belonging to the PTA offers parents and carers a useful opportunity to get involved, meet one another and hear more about the School.

News & Events

Notices about the PTA events and meetings will appear on this page, in the school newsletters and on the Bartholomew School PTA Facebook page.

Match Funding

MatchfundingMatch Funding is a fantastic scheme whereby employers provide funding for organisations such as secondary schools. It is a very simple and easy means of extra funding. As an employee it doesn’t cost you anything, except maybe a little help at an event but could mean hundreds of pounds of extra money for our PTA, which directly benefits the children. In many cases it is as simple as approaching your HR department and finding out about their scheme (the name of the scheme may differ depending on the company).
