Activities, Achievements and Plans for Future Periods
The aim of the PTA is to support the school both practically and financially through fundraising events and to facilitate a strong relationship between the parents and the teachers.
This year the PTA donated a total of £15,304 to the school. This covered leasing payments for the school minibus, together with donations for IT equipment and a donation towards replacing the stolen minibus. On providing the donations, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.
We stepped into the 2021-22 academic year with a general feel of positivity from what we had faced previously with the Covid-19 pandemic. With our two new co-Chairs chomping at the bit to get going, their organisational skills were put to good use in mapping out the events for the year.
To start off the year we received in £1,400 which was from the Summer Raffle held in Term 6 of 2021 and £100 from Chiddingstone Parish for our efforts at the Summer Village Fete.
Year 3 organised a wonderful Jam Sale with special thanks to Stacey Hogan who made all the jam. This raised £282.
Some Y4 children entered into the LIDL Tough Mudder, and their sponsorship raised £295 for the PTA. We then had 50p Friday and the “Fundraisin’” fundraiser which raised £492. The pumpkin carving competition held through Half Term, also raised £230.
Term 2 is notoriously a busy one for all as we gear up for Christmas. We had a Bag2School collection raising £189 and the Children’s artwork for Christmas Cards which raised £255. Children were able to enjoy pantomime productions either at school or at the theatre and the PTA were very happy to be able to donate money towards ice creams as a treat for the children and cover the cost of the travel to/from theatres, with the PTA donating £940 in total to cover this.
The Christmas Wreath Workshop hosted by Katie Grant also resulted in a £75 donation. The PTA arranged an apple collection to make Chiddingstone School’s very first apple juice production! This was ready in time for the Christmas Fair and proved to be very popular! We held our first Christmas Fair outside, which was a huge success and raised just over £2,300 including the apple juice profits! Special thanks to Lucy and Lauren again here for all the thought and effort in organising this – I know there were a few sleepless nights as to whether or not this could go ahead!
The Key Stage 1 nativity and Key Stage 2 carol concert were enjoyed by all and the Governors once again showed their generosity in donating prizes for the Christmas raffle which raised £382.
Into the New Year, we had our “Twosday” Fundraiser held on 22[nd] February where children were asked to bring in 2ps. This raised a whopping £483 through the coins themselves and the JustGiving donations. I can tell you first hand that paying in £250 worth of 2ps will not make you very popular with a bank! We rounded off the Easter term with a 50p Friday raising £167.
In Term 5, Year 3 organised a superb quiz night at the end of April and this raised £1,544. A Bag2School collection also raised £104. We finally managed to hold a School Disco in May, having had to postpone one in the autumn months due to Covid, and this raised £841. This was hotly followed by the Ball on 13[th] May 2022. I think it’s fair to say everyone loved the Bridgerton theme and the Ball Committee did a superb job on the night. I’m thrilled to report that the Ball raised just over £10,700 for the PTA.
Term 6 is another busy one and comprised quite a few events - maypole dancing and the rainbow raffle fundraisers together raised £921. The PTA also contributed towards a Jubilee Lunch for the children, with decorations and cupcakes provided. Sports Day at the end of June raised £618 and the open evening a further £552. We rounded off the year with the Summer Production, which despite the weathers best efforts to throw a few curveballs, raised £992.
Throughout the year we’ve had second hand uniform sales which have generated £438
The PTA has sold jute bags throughout the year and this has raised £215.

Continued
As well as our PTA events, we’ve had many adhoc Charitable Donations amounting to: £880. Some of this is offset by the donation the PTA makes to Chiddingstone Village Sports of £500.
The Giving Machine and Amazon donations throughout the year totalled £316.
The committee’s members and other parents have continued to give their support throughout the year for all the events, both large and small.
Policies
The Association does not make investments, all funds being held in a non-interest bearing bank current account.
The Association aims to distribute funds to the school on a timely basis whilst maintaining a sufficient level to meet day to day operating requirements.
