A warm welcome from the PTA! Here’s a brief introduction into the work we do to support the school and all of your children.
Our main role is fundraising to enable the school to buy things for pupils that the school wouldn’t be able to purchase otherwise. We are currently funding the library update project which we are super excited about! Watch this space for more information.
In 2024 we purchased 11 interactive whiteboards for several department classrooms which have been positively received by both staff and pupils. We have also recently funded equipment upgrades for the Biology department and the Music department.
Over the past few years we have donated £100,000 to the Sports Hall fundraising effort, raised funds for the installation of a Creative Studio for the Art Department and paid for a 3D printer and the canopy for the outside courtyard.
We raise this money through a variety of events both for parents (such as Quiz Nights and festive wreath making) and for the pupils (Christmas Bring and Buy, Year 7 & 8 Discos, Easter Egg Bingo), which are both fundraising and fun social events. We also run our monthly prize draw, the 100+ Club, as well as a Christmas Raffle.
PTAs thrive with participation by parents, and we would love you to get involved. This can be as little as a couple of hours once a year by volunteering to help at one of our events or going the whole hog and running an event or two. Both are equally valuable and super fun!
You can buy tickets and volunteer for our events on Classlist so make sure you are signed up to the app which you can do here then search for Tunbridge Wells Girls Grammar, not TWGGS! If you want to get involved with running things, or just helping out on an adhoc basis, please email us. New faces are always welcome!
Get in touch – our email address is pta@twggs.kent.sch.uk
Thank you for your support.
Additionally, Mrs Marchant is the President and Mr Speller is the Staff Representative.
New people are always welcome!
Everyone will want to support our PTA in different ways. We’re trying to raise money to support the school, so money is always welcome, but so is time. Please support us in whatever way you can.
You can come to the events All the profit goes to the school, so buying tickets helps. And the events are good fun to go to.
Sign up to the 100+ Club This is a low-effort way to help. Donate money to the school by purchasing tickets at the start of the school year in September and enter the monthly cash prize draw of £100.
Support the Raffle We hold a Christmas Raffle: buying tickets on Classlist is a really easy way to support the PTA and we have some super prizes each year! Or maybe you can donate a prize!
Sign up to easyfundraising.co.uk Another low effort one. Once you’re registered, Easyfundraising give us money every time you pay for your normal online purchases, at no cost to you. For more info, see the relevant section below.
Sponsor your child(ren) We hold a regular sponsored walk. You can support us by helping your child raise sponsorship from friends and family for taking part in the event. It is usually an enjoyable event with fancy dress themed by class and this year we will be adding some challenges along the route for added fun!
The Club is a lottery which is drawn monthly through the school year, with prizes for the winners, and profits going to support our school. This year there will be a prize of £100 every month.
Here is a summary of the way the Club works:
The 100+ Club is a lottery that grandparents/parents/carers of all children and all current staff and governors at TWGGS can enter.
To enter, you need to buy at least one ticket. You can buy as many as you want. Each ticket costs £25 (inc payment processing and admin fees). Tickets are available to buy on the PTA website until 23.55 on 30 September.
Draws take place every month throughout the school year. The September draw takes place in October to allow everyone to buy tickets, while the August draw takes place in July because of school holidays.
We'll contact the winners by email and send them their winnings by BACS.
The £25 ticket enters you in the draw for one year from September to August. We will remind you to enter in time for next year's draw before the end of the school year.
A full list of rules and regs is available here
Whether you’re getting into this because it’s an easy way to support the school, or for the money, we thank you! Any questions, please email 100club@twggs.kent.sch.uk
The school’s second hand uniform sales are run by the PTA . We usually have a good stock of all uniform, summer and winter, including PE kit.
If you would like to purchase uniform, email your requirements to uniform@twggs.kent.sch.uk.
We rely on donations, so if you have any uniform which is in a good, clean and saleable condition, please leave it at school reception and we will collect it.
