We are very grateful to everyone who helps support their child and our school. We often have individuals willing to provide more wider support. Below are the ways that people can support the school and get more involved:

The Coppice PTA is a group of friendly, like-minded parents and teacher representatives. Our main aim is to raise funds for our children’s school by organising fun events throughout the year. In order to achieve this aim, they meet on a regular basis at the school to discuss and plan forthcoming events.
Our PTA has an incredible track record of raising money (usually around £10, 000 – £12,000 annually) and putting this back into the school, thereby enabling us to continue to provide the very best resources and facilities for our children at The Coppice. For example, in recent years, they have contributed to our school library, sensory garden/quad areas, Adventure Zone, Multi-Use Games Area and our recent OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) provision. None of these wonderful additions would have been possible without them!
If you want to get involved and help to support your child’s school achieve even more, please contact them using the link below:
Our PTA are happy for help of any kind, ranging from a bi, longer-term commitment to just the occasional few hours or support at a fundraising event – every bit of support helps and is very much appreciated!
The PTA also has a separate website page which is kept up to date with upcoming events, contact details for the team and facilitates payments for events.
School budgets have never been tighter so maximising our available funding for pupil development is critical.
Easyfundraising is a great way of doing this. If every parent registered and remembered to use this (i.e. visit online retailers via the easyfundraising site: https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/) it could raise hundreds of pounds for us without any cost to parents. We are listed with easyfundraising as: The Coppice Primary School PTA, Hollywood.
Q: How does easyfundraising work?
A: We work with over 2000 retailers who have all agreed to pass a donation to your cause when you shop with them. The donation is usually a percentage of how much you spend with them but it can also be a set amount, such as £30 for a new car insurance policy from Aviva. Our retailers include Amazon, M&S, Boden, John Lewis, Argos and 2000 other well-known names.
Q: What do you need to do to raise money?
A: Firstly register with us and tell us who you want to support (if your cause isn’t listed yet, you can either register them yourself or ask someone within your cause to do it). It’s free for both shoppers and causes to register and use.
To raise money, instead of going directly to the retailer website, log into easyfundraising first and click on the retailer you want to shop with. You’ll then be taken to the retailer’s website where you shop as you would normally. But because you visited easyfundraising first, your cause gets a donation. It really is that simple.
Q: What’s the catch?
A: No catch. Whatever you buy costs exactly the same as it would if you visited the retailer site directly. We don’t take any financial information from you as all your transactions are with the retailer. We won’t sell your information on and we won’t spam you. And it doesn’t cost you or your cause anything.
At The Coppice, we welcome good ideas or suggestions from our Parents or Carers or other members of the community.
