Friends of Thamesmead (PTA)

We have a hardworking and welcoming Friends of Thamesmead School (FoT) group which meets to discuss and co-ordinate supporting the school with various events and fundraising activities. They are an enthusiastic group of parents and local supporters who are keen to raise as much money as possible to help enhance Thamesmead students’ education experience. Parents are always welcome to get involved. The FoT meets either in school occasionally or at the Red Lion. You can reach the Friends of Thamesmead by email here thamemesmeadpta@hotmail.co.uk and you can also join their WhatsApp group.

How do FoT receive regular donations and funds?

Pre-loved uniform sales

The FoT organise the sale of pre-loved uniform once a term (dates published in the Thamesmead 10 newsletter). If you urgently need an item you can enquire indicating the chest size that you need via info@thamesmead.surrey.sch.uk

Nearly new blazers, black school jumpers, skirts and logo polo tops can be donated via the main office. (We no longer need any of the old style PE tops)
