Welcome to the Wallace Fields Junior School PTA

The PTA is a crucial part of fundraising for the school and they make a huge difference to funds to ensure school improvements.  Your donations help us provide the little extras that make the children’s experiences in school so incredible- making learning more creative and fun, which the school budget simply doesn’t have the scope to pay for.

Autumn team was a busy term full of fun activities and fundraising. The children got to enjoy new workshops, the Christmas fair and Panto - to name a few!  We hosted the fireworks, a joint event run by both infant and junior school PTAs which was a huge success and all those that attended had a wonderful time and enjoyed the show.

We have an exciting few months ahead with many big PTA events and smaller initiatives too. In February we'll be hosting a second hand uniform sale and a valentines celebration.  On Friday 24th March we will be hosting a Comedy Night, and in May will see the return of the popular Race Night.  We also have some fabulous Easter celebrations and competitions to look forward to. 

We’d like to pull together a team of helpers to get the planning into motion for all of our forthcoming events. If you’re able to help with any aspect of the event (ideas, planning, logistics, running a stall - whatever takes your fancy and however big or small) please get in touch with us at wfjspta@gmail.com. We can’t do this without your help!

Cake sale nut policy

We are a nut free school, but appreciate that many cake manufacturers state that their products may contain traces of nuts.  We would advise very strongly that any child, who may be allergic to nuts avoids purchasing these cakes at our PTA cake sales.  There are some homemade cakes and we have asked that these do not contain nuts, however we cannot guarantee that they are completely safe and appropriate, so it is at the parents’ discretion whether they allow their child to consume these home-made cakes at PTA cake sales.  We will label the tables, so it is clear which cakes are homemade and which are manufactured.

Gift Aid

PTA are in the great position now of being able to claim back Gift Aid on donations.  That’s 25% (an extra 25p for every £1) for every donation if you are a UK taxpayer. If you would like to donate to the School Fund with Gift Aid claimed, please use this link https://cafdonate.cafonline.org/8007. The PTA is a charity and can claim gift aid whereas the school cannot as it is not a charity. We also claim gift aid on sponsorship, school fair entrance donations and other donations.
