PTA
At Springwood Heath, our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) plays a vital role in bringing our school community together and raising valuable funds to support our pupils.
All parents, carers, and staff are warmly welcome to join — whether you can help regularly or just now and then, every contribution makes a difference!
The PTA helps organise fun, inclusive events that children love and families enjoy. Recent successful events include:
🎃 Spooky Disco
🌈 Colourful Clothes Day
🎄 Christmas Discos & Christmas Fair
🎉 Springo Bingo
Funds raised go directly back into enriching school life — from resources and equipment to special experiences for the children.
If you’d like to get involved, please speak to the school office or come along to our next meeting. We’d love to have you on board!

What We've Achieved Together - 2024/25
FOSH has made a real difference to our school community through various successful initiatives:
Safety & Security
We've arranged a grit bin, gritting service, and helped secure a School Crossing Patrol Officer to keep our children safe on their journey to school.
Learning Resources
We've provided computer equipment for classroom learning and secured 64 free World Book Day costumes through our Parent Kind membership, ensuring every child can participate.
Memorable Events
Our Christmas Fayre raised £1,300 plus provided a magical grotto visit and gifts from Santa for every child. We regularly organize seasonal events including Halloween-themed mini discos, Doughnut & Frozen Fridays, Easter egg hunts, mascot visits and creative competitions like Spooky Spoons & Precious Plates.
Playground Development
We're currently partnering with the school to fund exciting new playground equipment, including a climber that will accommodate up to 30 children with soft bouncy material and astroturf underneath for safety.
Community and Compliance Initiatives
We worked incredibly hard to restore our charity status, we've established a new bank account and Parent Kind membership, unlocking valuable resources. We've also contributed £508.27 towards an accessible sandpit project in partnership with the School Council.
