Parent Teacher Association

Nursery and Reception Coffee Mornings

Nursery and Reception parent and carers are invited to stay after the welcome meetings next week for refreshments and the chance to meet and have a relaxed chat with fellow parents and carers of the same year group at Letchmore. The PTA will be hosting with complimentary tea, coffee, juice and pastries, and we’ll also be there with a Preloved Uniform sale so you can fill any gaps in your child’s uniform at bargain prices (plus it’s more sustainable, a win-win!). See you all there!

Win a Harry Potter Prize Bundle with the School Lottery

Did you know that you can support the school year-round by playing the School Lottery? Right now, you could win a family ticket for the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour AND a theatre voucher for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It’d make the perfect trip for little (and no-so-little!) wizards, witches, and muggles alike! The newly launched Super Draw gives parents new and exciting ways to play – instead of committing to weekly tickets, supporters can choose to just buy tickets for the Super Draw week, meaning more flexibility and less commitment, whilst still supporting the school! So, make sure to get your tickets now ready for the big draw on Saturday 28th October to win two fab Harry Potter prizes! Prefer to play weekly? Tickets cost just £1 a week, with up to £25,000 in prize money every single week. To sign up go to yourschoollottery.co.uk/play and search for Letchmore.

We’re delighted to share that Hannah Bailey is now our official Preloved Uniform Officer. If you have any requests for uniform, please contact pta@letchmore.herts.sch.uk or if you see Hannah feel free to pull her to one side to ask – we promise she doesn’t bite!

Did you know that you can help raise money for the PTA by playing the school lottery?

Fundraising this year

Welcome back! Hope you all had a lovely holiday. The start of a new year is a perfect time to get involved with the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) at Letchmore. Regular support from parents and carers enables the PTA to organise fun activities for the children and provide new school equipment. The PTA is a registered charity, number 1029384. All support, no matter how small, will add up to make a big difference. So if you have a New Year’s resolution to get involved in the school community, then we’d love to have you!

You could get involved with the PTA by signing up to our weekly school lottery, by shopping through AmazonSmile, by becoming a PTA Committee member or a volunteer in our “Friends of the PTA” WhatsApp group, or simply by coming to PTA events and generally helping us to reach our fundraising targets.

Get involved with the PTA

The PTA needs you! The PTA is a registered charity, and our fundraising goes directly towards some great causes, with recent examples including new playground equipment, IT equipment, gym equipment, phonics resources and much more. There are easy ways to get involved, including the School Lottery, Amazon Smile, and volunteering your time. All support, no matter how small, adds up to make a big difference. Please see the attached poster for ways you can help or email the PTA at pta@letchmore.herts.sch.uk to get involved.

Match Funding
Does your company offer match funding? The PTA is a registered charity, and match funding is a great way for us to double our fundraising on events that we run during the year. If your company offers match funding, please email us at PTA@letchmore.herts.sch.uk and we'd be happy to provide a letter to help you secure match funding on behalf of the PTA.

Amazon Smile

Did you know that every time you shop on Amazon, you could be earning money for the PTA? Same selection, same price, but the PTA gets a cut directly from Amazon.  Simply search for "Smile" on Amazon, follow the link to Amazon Smile and select Letchmore PTA as your charity of choice. Amazon will then donate a portion of the purchase price to the PTA.  Earn money for our school whilst doing your Christmas shopping - a win-win!
