Welcome to Roundwood Park PTA
We are a group of committee members and helpers who are parents and carers of students at Roundwood Park School. We have come together to support our children and the school community.
Whilst fund-raising is a major part of the PTA’s activities and directly contributes to the improvement of the school, there’s a lot more to it. The PTA provides a great way to build the whole community, including links with the local area.
We are fortunate that each year we get new volunteers who sign up to help as we say goodbye to Year 13 families that are leaving RPS, and hello to our incoming Year 7 families.
We have an established events calendar which is well supported, providing fun and relaxed events:
– Quiz & Comedy Nights – where parents and carers can meet and enjoy an entertaining night out
– Second Hand Uniform Sales – a sale is held once every school term, and is a great opportunity to recycle old uniform and purchase additional uniform items at a low cost as your children grow, with all profits going back to the school. Click here to see our price list.
– Refreshments – at various parent/carer evenings at school
– Local Community PTA Fundraising – including HRFC Fireworks and FOHA Christmas Trees
– Sponsored Walk – a fabulous biannual event that involves the whole school taking part in a local 10km walk
This year, 2025, we are raising funds to replace one of the older minibuses.
Many secondary schools no longer have a PTA, please help us to keep ours going.

All sales are in the main School Hall – come in via Reception
We are always very grateful for any volunteers that can help run, or support, our events. With increasingly busy lifestyles it is not always easy to commit to all activities so we operate a bank of helpers that are emailed prior to each event to assist with different elements as their time allows. Without the support we receive from our committee members and helpers, the hugely beneficial projects would not be possible.
We currently run the PTA with the below roles :
Social Media/ Communications – keeping Facebook, Twitter and the school website information up to date. Providing information for the school newsletter, RoundUp, and liaison with the RPS Communications Manager.
Parents Evening Refreshments – supplying refreshments and co-ordinating volunteers for in-person parents evenings throughout the year.
Events Organiser – working alongside committee members to organise our Annual Quiz & Comedy nights.
Second Hand Uniform Sale Organiser – we host one sale per term; organisation of both the day itself and and the required volunteers.
Chair – Chair of the 6 or so PTA meetings per year, liaison with the school on events and fundraising.
Secretary – taking of Minutes at PTA meetings & arranging bookings for PTA events.
Treasurer – Management of the PTA bank account, financial updates at PTA meetings and the filing of our annual accounts.
As with any committee people move on, and we are always keen to welcome new volunteers who would be interested in taking on these roles in the future. A great way to find out more is to attend our PTA meetings or to email pta@roundwoodpark.co.uk
