Grove Park Primary School PTA is a registered charity (1099383)
We are a group of active and friendly parents, carers, teachers and staff on a mission to bring our community together and raise funds for the school. We host a range of exciting events throughout the school year from snack sales, to fairs, quizzes, auctions and raffles.
These special occasions are not just about having fun; they are about bringing people together and making a positive impact by raising essential funds to enhance our school with new materials, goods and services.
Join us in making a difference and creating a brighter future for all the children at Grove Park Primary School.
Our wish list! 2024/25
Every year the school consults teachers and students and agree on the items that will most benefit the school and our children - and we then do our best to make it happen!
This year we aim to raise at least £25k!
"Having such a committed PTA is critical for the success of the school. The funds raised by the PTA are increasingly fundamental as we navigate tough environments, but most importantly the PTA events are key to nourishing the community around the school and providing extraordinary learning and social experiences for the children."
Miss Rachel Davies, Grove Park Primary School Head Teacher

Some of our regular events include:
Quiz Nights
Great food and drink, a chance to connect with other parents and generally lots of fun!
We hold regular sales of good quality pre-loved uniforms
Snack sales
A crazy 30 minutes every fortnight where we sell cakes and healthy snacks after school and raise lots of money!
Christmas Fair
A festive party to celebrate the winter season, visit Santa's grotto, make some festive art, play games and win prizes
Summer Fair
A wonderful occasion for the school to come together towards the end of the school year and enjoy music, performances, games, and show off their talent
Online Auctions
Wonderful way to showcase the generosity of our local community who provide brilliant prizes and gifts for us to auction to the highest bidder

Sponsorships
Chiswick has the feel of a village, with the amenities of a town and sits on the doorstep of one of the best cities in the world. To make the most of this, we work hard to explore, build and nurture strong relationships with local businesses. We see great opportunities to partner with them to promote the school, raise money for great causes and support our local businesses to help them thrive.
Partnerships
In the last few years we have strengthened ties with a few specific companies. For example, Budgens is supporting our snack sales, Bizzy Buddies offers discounts and some free spaces at sport camps and Snappy Snaps supports providing printing and photography services for our PTA events, including our Santa’s Grotto, every year.
We are always interested in exploring similar partnerships with other local businesses and would be delighted to chat to you if you have any ideas.
