Friends of Mandeville
Welcome to the PTA!
All parents/carers with children at the school are automatically members of Friends of Mandeville PTA. This is a very active parent/carer-led organisation which supports the school by running fundraising events to be enjoyed by the whole community. The school is grateful to them, and to the parents/carers who attend the events and support their work. This all helps to provide wonderful enrichment opportunities throughout the year to raise valuable funds for the school.
Future Aims
Friends of Mandeville PTA is currently working hard to fund more Key Stage Two playground equipment. We are also subsidising school trips and visitors. The school has a wish list of items which we are fundraising for. This includes new bike/scooter storage, curtains, IT equipment and sun shades for the field.
Latest News – July 2026
We have had an incredibly busy and successful term at Mandeville Primary School. Events have included several lolly and tuck sales and a stall at the May Fayre. We had a really popular disco and also raised money to set up a garden for the children in early years. Thanks to a donation of a brand-new Wall’s freezer, we were able to provide ice lollies at the recent sports day. We also sourced a washing machine to launder preloved uniform.
By far the biggest event of the year was Mandefest on 11th July. This raised an impressive £3465.42. We enjoyed a fabulous afternoon in the sun with live music, games, performances and plenty of food and drink.
We are really looking forward to the autumn term. This will include another disco, a stall at the High Wych scarecrow festival and our incredible Christmas Spectacular, plus much more!
You may have noticed that the new playground equipment for Key Stage 2 has been fitted following successful fundraising by the PTA over the past year. If we can raise a further £630, we have the opportunity to purchase an extra piece of equipment. To this end, we have set up a Just Giving page where you can donate directly to support this endeavour. Please see the link below:
