Welcome to the Woodlands PTA, just being a parent means you are already involved!  We are a charity fundraising committee run by parents and staff. Our aim is to raise funds to supplement the school’s funding and provide much needed resources and activities. 

Do you know how much the PTA really does for all of the children? 

These are some of the activities the PTA organise to raise money and offer support to school to help enrich the children's time at Woodlands 

• Christmas and summer fairs 
• Fireworks night 
• Refreshments at the Nativities and Carol service 
• Christmas ‘secret’ gift buying for the children 
• Personalised Christmas cards  
• School discos  
• Bags2School clothing collections 
• Social events such as bingo and quiz nights 
• Dragon boat race 
• Sports day ice pops for the children 
• Coffee mornings 
• 2nd hand uniform shop 
• Year 6 leavers party and gifts 
• And much more……… 

These are all only possible with the support of parents alongside the School staff. 

The PTA is currently raising funds to continue to help the school improve the KS2 area and build an outside changing area and to regenerate the toilet block - not the most exciting but very much needed and will make such a difference for the children. Last year we manage to raise an amazing £22,412.89 - we are aiming for a similar amount this year which will all go towards helping make the school a better place for our children 

PTA Second hand uniform

You can now buy second hand uniform online via Uniformly - https://uniformerly.co.uk/

Uniform sales will still be physically held at the larger events such as the fairs and new intake days.  Between these times the second hand uniform will now be accessible online all year round (term time) and without the need for taking multiple boxes in and out, plus manning stalls with volunteers.

1. Visit the site above and go to find my school.  Filter on Kent to find Woodlands Primary School.

2. Browse the available items and stock.  Note you can also use the search option to narrow down items.

3. Select the items you want to add to your basket and complete your payment with paypal*.

Orders placed before 3pm on a Thursday will be available for collection from the office Friday end of day.

Note: the first time you wish to order you will need to register.  This only needs to be done once after which you can login as normal.

*If you don’t have paypal, please use the site to ensure what you want is in stock first, then drop an email to woodlandsprimarypta@gmail.com with the items you would like.  You can then pay on collection (turn around times will differ from doing online due to the manual nature of emails and monitoring).
