Uckfield College PTA is a group of parents and staff that raise funds to provide enhancements for the college.

These are extras that we offer over and above those already provided by statutory funds. PTA fundraising is always fun, enjoyable and social.

🌟 Meet the team: Angelina, one of our wonderful Events Helpers!

Having enjoyed helping out with the PTA during her children's primary school days, Angelina didn't hesitate when she spotted the invitation in the Year 7 welcome pack two years ago! Many parents wonder if volunteering at secondary level feels different, but Angelina found it to be the perfect way to stay connected to school life as both her son and daughter settled in.

💬 In Angelina’s words:"Being part of the PTA has been a lovely experience. The commitment is flexible, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it has given me the chance to meet new people and make friends while supporting the school community."

That sums up our ethos brilliantly: no pressure, plenty of flexibility, and a welcoming group where you can lend a hand whenever fits your schedule.

A massive thank you to Angelina for her time, warmth, and helping hands at our events! 💛 Drop a 👋 or a 💛 below to say a big hello to Angelina! 👇

🌿 SEND Garden: Prepping for the big dig! 🧤🌱

Before the students could get stuck into planting, there was some serious groundwork to tackle!

A brilliant joint crew of PTA volunteers rolled up their sleeves earlier this month to clear the borders, turn the soil, and get all the raised beds into top shape.

💚 A huge thank you to everyone involved:

Thanks to our dedicated SEND staff — who go above and beyond every single day to support our students and help bring ideas like this sensory retreat to life.

Our fantastic PTA volunteers — who braved the dirt and weeds with trowels in hand to make sure everything was ready for planting day!

The stage is officially set, the beds are prepped, and the plants are waiting. Up next: handing the trowels over to the students for the fun part! 🌻🥕

Give our hardworking prep team a cheer in the comments! 👏✨

🛍️ Confession time: Who always forgets to open the app before shopping? 🙋‍♀️️

We hear it all the time: "I meant to raise a donation, but I forgot to check if the shop was on Easyfundraising!"

Here’s the ultimate life hack: if you shop on a laptop or desktop computer, install the free Donation Reminder browser extension.

🌟 Whenever you land on a participating site (over 8,000 retailers!), a little banner pops up saying "Donation available!". You just click it once, and that's it—donation claimed.

No extra tabs, no remembering to search beforehand, and zero cost added to your basket.

🥂 Meet the team: Gem, our fabulous Bar Queen!

If you’ve ever enjoyed a cold drink, a glass of fizz, or a quick snack at one of our school concerts or live music nights, chances are you’ve seen Gem in action! 🍷✨

As a parent with two children at the college, Gem joined the PTA around three years ago with a heartfelt goal: to help fund opportunities and spaces where our students can truly thrive.

💬 In Gem’s words:"I love being able to make a difference and help raise money so our children have the best environment to learn and grow. I mainly help run the PTA bar and work alongside such a lovely, amazing group of people who all share the same passion, supporting our children!"

From coordinating stock to keeping the queues moving with a warm smile, Gem brings so much positivity, fun, and teamwork to every event.

A huge thank you to Gem for everything she brings to our school community! 💛Raise a virtual glass 🥂 and drop a hello to Gem in the comments below! 👇

🌿 YOU BOUGHT THIS! 🌸🥕

A few of our PTA team popped down to the wonderful Stavertons Nursery last week on a very special mission — picking out a gorgeous selection of plants, blooms, and greenery ready for our school SEND garden!

🛒 These trolley loads are 100% down to you.

Every time you grab a drink at our school event bars, buy a weekly lottery ticket, or shop via Easyfundraising, you are directly funding projects like this. Because of your incredible support, our students got to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into planting their very own calming, sensory outdoor retreat, which we will be revealing over the coming weeks. 🌼🧤

💚 A massive shout-out to Stavertons Nursery:

A huge thank you to the fantastic team at for looking after us and helping us choose such wonderful plants for the college. We love being able to support brilliant local businesses while creating something lasting for our pupils!

Keep your eyes peeled for the green-fingered action once the planting begins—we can't wait to show you the transformation! 📸🌱

Thank you for making this happen! 💛

👑 Meet the team: Sam, our official Donation Queen!

Ever wondered how our seasonal hampers end up packed with such fabulous treats and prizes? Look no further than Sam! 🎁✨

Sam got involved two years ago when her youngest joined in Year 7. With children now in Years 9 and 11, she knows first-hand the difference that well-funded resources and facilities make to secondary school life.

💬 In Sam’s words:"The PTA is a really lovely group of people with a clear fundraising structure, making it easy to help out without having to commit a huge amount of time. I've loved gathering donations for our hampers and helping run the bar at school events, it’s been really good fun!"

Between sourcing luxury hamper gifts and serving drinks at lively school events, Sam brings so much energy and community spirit to our team.

🌿 Coming soon: Green fingers & fresh blooms in our SEND garden! 🥕🌸

Whenever you buy a drink at our event bars, enter the Wealden Lottery, or snap up a raffle ticket, you are directly investing in spaces that make our school a better, more supportive place for every student.

In just a few weeks, students will be getting stuck in to plant a vibrant mix of flowers and vegetables in the college’s dedicated SEND garden area!

🌻 Why this space matters:

Provides a calming, sensory retreat for students who need a quiet break during busy school days

Gives young people hands-on experience growing produce from scratch

Creates a colourful, welcoming corner of the campus for everyone to enjoy

We can’t wait to share the "before and after" photos once the spades hit the soil and the planting gets underway! 📸🌱

Thank you so much for your continued support—this is your generosity in action. 💛
