PTA
Welcome to the Hazeldown PTA section
The Parents Teachers Association (PTA) is a group of parents, carers and teachers that arrange events and activities throughout the school year to raise money for Hazeldown School. We organise school discos, Christmas and Summer Fayres, christmas cards individually designed by pupils and more. The funds raised from these activities go towards resources to support our children at school and for the little extras.

We can recycle unwanted clothes, paired shoes (tied together), handbags, teddies, hats, bags, scarves, ties, jewellery, lingerie and belts etc NO PILLOWS, DUVETS OR HEAVY CURTAINS are permitted. They just take up space in the bank and we don’t get any funds for them! A great way to raise funds for school and to have a clear out!
