Supporting the PTA
How Can You help?
We rely on your support and together we can make a big difference!
If you are in a position to do so, regular monthly donations are so helpful to the school. Many of our parents, carers, friends and family members find that the easiest way to contribute to the PTA fundraising effort is to donate regularly via Direct Debit/Standing Order. Contributing this way also gives us the option of collecting gift aid on your donation which can increase its value by 25%.
There are several ways in which to do this:
Just Giving
If you, or any friends or family members would like to become part of the Friends of Oatlands School (FOS) scheme, you can use our Just Giving page click here
By using our JustGiving page this means the process of signing up can be completed in just a few clicks and the collection of Gift Aid is automatic.
Standing Order
Please make payments to Oatlands School Parent Teacher Association, sort code 20-90-56 and account number 90374083. Contact the PTA Treasurer for a Gift Aid form to make your donation go even further.
Payroll Give As You Earn (GAYE)
This allows you to make regular donations directly from your salary, just give our charity number 802535 directly to the administrator of the scheme.
Fund Matching
Many employers will match charitable donations on a pound for pound basis. Please make enquiries with your employer as this can significantly boost donations. We are currently registered with Cybergrants, Benevity and GivingForce who administer many of these schemes.
Thank you to everyone that signs up. Every penny we raise contributes to the enriching the learning of our children at Oatlands.
