Here at Tidcombe, we are very fortunate to have Friends that work hard raising funds to help provide our children with important extras and treats to enhance their experiences at school.
Below are some of the opportunities supported by PTA funds last year, and ones planned for 2024/25
Most of our funds are raised through fun events that you and your children can get involved with and enjoy. These require some help and support, whether assisting on a stall at the fete, helping with decorating the school hall prior to a disco, donating cakes for our cake sales or simply attending events. Any help is always appreciated.

Anyone, parent or carer, is welcome to attend any of our committee meetings which are held either at school or at Tiverton Hotel each half term. This is where decisions are made on how best to use the funds raised and suggestions made for further events.
If you are unable to attend our meetings but do wish to contribute your fund-raising ideas or suggestions on how funds could be used we welcome your thoughts via our Facebook page or via the school office.
We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting or event soon.
