PTA - Parent / Teacher Association

PTA Meeting Dates 2024/2025

  • 1st July 2025

Start at 7pm in Bader canteen, all welcome.

Welcome to King Edward VI School, Lichfield PTA 

The school has an active Parent Teacher Association which works extremely hard to support the school financially through a wide variety of activities.

It is Your PTA that raises thousands of pounds each year to fund projects and activities over and above what the school provides. From providing sporting, design and technology and music equipment to supporting the school music and drama shows with funding for costumes and accessories. Enhancing the experience at events by putting on refreshments, many of the seating areas and benches and the Q block canopy have been purchased thanks to Your PTA. The annual quiz and Christmas fayre are two great social events run by Your PTA.

Your PTA is only a small PTA, and is unduly reliant on a few individuals, who we thank dearly for their support and commitment.  However, this is not sustainable so we need and would welcome more parents/carers to join.  This commitment can vary from simply a few hours on one evening/one event in the year, or to commit further and join the committee.

It is a great way to meet other parents/carers and learn more about the school. Any help that you could offer would be greatly received. We have parents/carers involved in Your PTA with children in Year 7 to Year 13. Your PTA is a social function and acts as a sounding-board for parents/carers’ views.

We want to hear from you

Please look out for meetings, events and updates via the school website: PTA - Parent / Teacher Association the school calendar, online newsletter, social media and text messages.  We would love to hear from you. Any suggestions, ideas or questions, please get in touch by email: kingedwardspta@gmail.com.

As well as these fun events we also raise funds through two online ventures which are outlined below.

Your School Lottery

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:
