Welcome to Friends of Trythall School
We’re really glad you’re here.
The PTA plays a big part in school life at Trythall — bringing families together, raising funds for enriching experiences, and helping our small school thrive. Whether you have lots of time, a specific skill, or just a bit of goodwill, there’s a place for you.
You don’t need to have a child at a particular stage, or commit to meetings or committees — every contribution, big or small, genuinely makes a difference. We welcome parents, grandparents, carers and members of our wider community — if you care about Trythall and want to support the school, you’re very welcome.
There’s no “right” way to help. Many people start small and get more involved over time.
A quick win (takes minutes!)
Create an easyfundraising account
Your everyday online shopping can automatically generate donations for the school at no extra cost to you — it’s one of the easiest ways to support us.
Easyfundraising partners with thousands of well-known retailers, who donate a percentage of what you spend back to our school when you shop through their links. Whether you’re booking a holiday, ordering new shoes, buying groceries or treating yourself, those everyday purchases can quickly add up to meaningful support for our children.
This a great way to get friends, family or your workplace to support the school too!
