Fundraising
The PTA have been able to donate some significant funds to RPS in recent years for initiatives which have had a direct impact on the pupils experience.
In 2023, the PTA donated £2,700 to RPS for outdoor play equipment, including interactive wall panels and giant building bricks for EYFS.
In 2024, the PTA donated £11,600 to RPS for new ICT equipment, including coding machines and new computers.
The PTA is currently fundraising for a new lighting and sound system to support the many wonderful school performances at RPS.
How to support, join or simply just give some time to the PTA:
The PTA are always looking for volunteers to help with events or support the fundraising efforts by providing or sourcing raffle prizes. Volunteers can give as little or as much time as they can and any help is gratefully received.
If you are interested in knowing more and getting involved with the PTA, please feel free to contact one of the committee members.
The PTA have been fortunate to work with some major companies within Rochford and Southend who have supported the school through sponsorship, donations, discounts and event attendance. The PTA welcomes any additional companies to help promote fundraising events.
