The Broadwindsor School Parent Teachers Friends Association (PTFA) is a small group of committed parents and others who work together to fundraise for the benefit of the school and our pupils.
We welcome all offers of help and support from parents and the wider community. If you feel you would like to make a difference, please make contact via the school office and your details will be passed on to the Chair of the PTA.
There are currently 4 easy ways to raise vital funds for our school:
The Clothes Bank, which is situated outside the school gates.
Stamptastic, which is an online service that supplies stamps for labelling children’s school clothes and equipment – https://www.facebook.com/stamptastic.co.uk/

Easyfundraising – if you’re not already registered, then please do join; parents, grandparents, friends, teachers. It’s so easy to use and every penny you spend when you link through to your shopping site using Easyfundraising generates a percentage for our PTA. You can join up here – https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/fabs/
We support school with some costs they incur throughout the year and with specific projects to support school priorities:
- Shared contribution to Leavers’ Hoodies
- Annually in December – whole school trip to the Panto – we cover the cost of the coaches and an ice cream for each child – (close to £1000)
- Contribution to class trip transport costs
- New playtime equipment boxes
- Wooden outdoor construction blocks
We run a number of fun and fundraising events:
- Friday Movie nights for KS1 and KS2 children
- Sports Day refreshments
- Easter Egg-travaganza with traditional egg rolling and Easter bonnets and not-so-traditional egg dropping!
- December – Christmas Fair – All the family and friends welcome
