What do we do?
We organise a variety of events throughout the year such as a Summer Fayre, Mother’s Day Sale, Raffles and Father’s Day Sale. We aim for our events to be affordable and fun for our children and families and help to raise money for the schools.
We have general meetings every term as well as other meetings over the year to plan our activities. All PTA members are welcome to come along.
Why do we do it?
Our PTA / Friends of Hamstel is a registered charity which raises funds for the schools. Our fundraising contributes towards any projects or new equipment the schools may need to support or enhance the children’s education and day to day school life.

Pre-Loved Uniform Shop
Our PTA sells a range of good quality second-hand uniform (sweatshirts,
cardigans, trousers, skirts, pinafores, shirts and blouses), which has been
donated to us. Pre-loved uniform is sold from the cabin at the edge of the main
playground (where the year 4, 5 and 6 children exit at the end of the day) from
3:10pm until 3:45pm on the first Wednesday of every month.
All items cost from 50p. Card payments can be taken for purchases over £1.
School Lottery
Both Hamstel Junior School and Hamstel Infant School often work together to raise funds for the benefit of all our children. You can also help to raise money for our school by purchasing both of the below third party sundries.
