PTA
The school PTA is an essential part of school life. Our aim is to raise as much money as possible for items and projects, which the main school budget could not possibly afford, and helps to improve certain facilities that your child uses on a daily basis in school.
All profits from these events raise valuable funds for the school. If you are interested in becoming a member or an active helper, or wish to make any suggestions for future events, please email the school admin@mayplace.bexley.sch.uk and they will forward your messages on.

Fundraising
Why are we doing these events? Apart from providing affordable fun for everyone, these events provide much needed funds for the school. We are currently fundraising for new climbing equipment in the KS2 playground, a trim trail for EYFS and some outdoor aerobic equipment for all the children to use. The school are currently obtaining quotes and we will shortly display a thermometer style fundraising update in the playground to show our progress.
Volunteers
Here comes the boring part! We desperately need volunteers otherwise these events simply won’t take place.
If you are able to help (even a small amount of time) at any of the events, please join our volunteers what’s app group for more information
We also need volunteers to help us restart our PTA shop located next to the oak room. Here we can sell items to raise funds and also provide a service to families such as good quality second hand uniform and a food bank. This service is needed more than ever now, but we currently don’t have enough people to do this. Please join the what’s app group if you can help and more details will follow.
Simply shop with AmazonSmile using the Amazon Shopping app or at smile.amazon.co.uk/ch/1038632-0, and AmazonSmile donates to Mayplace Friends Parent Teacher Association!
