During the 2024/25 academic year, the PTA organised a variety of successful events and activities, including discos, film nights, a Christmas bauble competition, Christmas card making and ice lolly sales, which collectively raised £3,798.29. An additional £477.40 was generated through the School Lottery. We were also fortunate to receive a generous donation of £3,100.00, along with support from The Chesham Valley Rotary Club Santa Sleigh, contributing a further £500.00 to our fundraising efforts. 

These funds allowed the PTA to contribute towards an outside classroom, fund the yearly pantomime trip, fund the Year 6 Leavers’ Disco and their Leavers’ books and provide ice lollies for all students on sports day. Furthermore, we were able to sponsor a Brushwood BJS brick for Love Lowndes Park project.  

Looking ahead, there are a number of exciting events planned for the upcoming year, including movie nights, discos and more.

The PTA would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped, attended, or sponsored our events throughout 2024/25. Your support made a real difference, and we truly couldn’t have done it without you. We hope we can count on your continued support in the year ahead.  

Where does the money we raise go?

PTA  Fundraising

The Brushwood Summer Fayre raised an outstanding £2000 to go towards our wildlife area project!

The double storey bird hide was installed earlier this year, giving amazing views across the fields. This is a unique and inspiring addition to the area, taking great advantage of our position within the local landscape.

We are looking forward to creating a woodcraft area,  and an outdoor music wall to complete the area.
