PTA
Harvey Road School’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a brilliant and highly successful group of volunteers who support the school through fund raising.
Our mission is to enhance the children’s learning environment & build a community amongst parents.
As a registered charity, the PTA organize events to raise money which goes towards supporting the many different fantastic experiences that children have.
Who are your PTA committee members:
- Angela Parker (Trustee & Secretary)
- Mark Glover (Trustee & Treasurer)

- Anne Haynes
- Radhika Vyas-Shah
- Wendy Iveson
- Shreena Navsaria

Alongside the Committee each class has a minimum of 2 class representatives. They take on roles such as organising a rota for our main events and, if they feel happy to do so, run a small event e.g. a movie afternoon.
How You Can Help:
Fundraising Events: There are many events that occur throughout the year and parents can help out or get involved in many different ways, big or small. This could range from spending a little time setting up a stall at one event to helping plan one, or to man a stall or produce posters. If you want to help, we have a job for you!
New ideas: we are always open to fresh ideas for events, so please do feel free to come along to our meetings or speak to one of us in the playground should inspiration strike!
Sponsorship: Throughout the year we try to get our events sponsored. If anyone knows a company or business who would be interested in providing sponsorship then please do point them in our direction.
Raffle Prizes/Silent Auction: Any donations for our Christmas and Summer raffle and silent auctions are much appreciated.
Matched Funding : A simple way of maximising your fundraising efforts for the School. It is an arrangement between a company and its employee. Many companies will pledge a sum of money relating to the amount their employee has raised for, or donated to, the charity of their choice.
So if you would like to help, become a class rep or join the Committee, please let us know. All are welcome! Come and speak to us on the playground or connect through your class rep.
Environmentally Friendly
We are currently working towards being a more environmentally friendly PTA. In doing so, we have moved away from book bag flyers and use other forms of communication such as the school newsletter, WhatsApp class groups and our private Facebook Group. In addition, we have purchased re-useable plastic glassware which can be used for all our events removing the need for single use plastic cups.
