Welcome to King Edward VI School PTA. The PTA is made up of parents and teachers from the school with the main purpose of raising funds to support projects that will benefit students. We meet approximately 6 times within the school year in Bader Bistro or via Zoom, with meetings starting at 7 pm. If you would like to attend and need the link please email: kingedwardspta@gmail.com

We are always keen to see new parents at the meetings.  If you are not able to make the meetings but would like to help out, either on a one-off or regular basis, we would love to hear from you.  Any suggestions, ideas or questions can be sent to kingedwardspta@gmail.com. If you have a particular skill or company that you think could help the PTA, please do let us know.  Whilst the PTA committee currently comprises a dedicated team of parents and staff, the future of the PTA is very much dependent upon us keeping the flow of new members coming through as parents step down when their children leave the school. If you feel you want to get involved, please email the PTA or come along to a meeting. Thank you for your ongoing support.

The PTA  run a lottery in partnership with Your School Lottery.  This is proving very successful – if you haven’t already why not sign up to this great new fund-raising initiative – it only takes a minute to register.  It costs £1 a week with someone from our lottery guaranteed to win over £30 as well as being entered into a weekly draw for £25,000!  It also raises over £2,000 for the school each year which we are able to give the school for much needed projects!

Why not ask friends and family if they’d like to support us too! To find out more go to
