Welcome to Thomas Tallis Parent, Teacher & Friends Association (PTFA)

Tallis PTFA is almost certainly nothing like your Primary School PTA experience.  Here, you won’t find people with clipboards at the gates, or termly bake sales.  You will, however, find Cabaret Hullabaloo,  6th Form lead Coffee Shops, Front of House teams, an online Pre-Loved Uniform Shop, Cost-of-a-Coffee fundraising and collaborations with Charities like ComputerAid who support our Tech for Tallis initiative. 

​Stick with us and you are also very likely to find lasting friendships, get to know the school site and staff in a much less formal setting and without even realising it’s happening, become an indispensable part of this incredible School where our children are already learning about the world and changing it for the better.

I am delighted to welcome you on this journey with us and I hope to meet you in person very soon.

Debbie Joyce, Chair PTFA

Cost-of-a-Coffee Supporters

Our Cost-of-a-Coffee Supporters pledge the cost of a £2.50 take-away coffee every month. 

​Cost-of-a-Coffee is open to everyone, so please forward to friends, family and anyone else you know who may like to support a Tallis student.  Our aim is to find a Cost-of-a-Coffee supporter for every student in Tallis this year.  And don’t forget, if you are a UK tax payer, as a Charity we can claim 25% of your donation from HMRC so your £2.50 becomes a £3.12 donation!

Tech for Tallis 2023

We are currently working on a project with the School Senior Leadership Team to address digital exclusion for disadvantaged students in yr7-yr13.
 
During the Pandemic lockdowns we fundraised (£9500) to buy new laptops and refurbished donated laptops to supplement those provided by Government to ensure no student suffered digital exclusion from educational opportunities. With the cost of living crisis, last year school provided 56 laptops across the year groups including students sitting GCSE and A-Level exams.  This year, we have been asked to find 84 laptops for yr7 alone.

We are very grateful for the support of ComputerAid who are supplying us with reconditioned laptops at the vastly reduced cost of £120 each.


f you are able to, please consider donating towards the cost of a laptop so that we can eradicate digital exclusion in school that may prevent our young people from accessing educational opportunities.
​
As a Charity, if you are a UK tax payer we can apply for GiftAid to add 25% to all donations turning £10 donations into £12.50 donations and £100 donations into £125 donations!  All you have to do is tick the box a the bottom of the donation form and we can do the rest.

PTFA Shop

**WE HAVE AN ONLINE SHOP !**

Pre-loved Uniform

To make it easier for you to purchase pre-loved and new uniform donated or purchased by PTFA from Whitehalls excess stock, we have created an online shop with Shopify!  You can now see everything we have in stock and pay online.  Orders can be collected from Reception or given to your Class Tutor.  You can also order online and pay with cash when collecting from Reception.  Please note Reception can't take card payments as they don't have access to our card readers.

To donate uniform, please wash and hand in to Class Tutors or Reception.

New uniform is available from Casseys Schoolwear

Christmas cards

With huge thanks to Creative Arts, we are very proud to be able to offer Christmas Cards designed by the exceptionally talented Creative Arts staff and students available for you to buy from the PTFA shop now!

Community Garden Project

The Community Garden project started in 2019 and aimed to:
  • Provide a hub for local wildlife, particularly insects, amphibians and birds.
  • Provide a space in which children could tangibly engage and learn about the natural world
  • To engender a culture of sustainability in the school culture and ethos.
The community garden is e a cross-curricular resource: a model for the sciences and geography, a supplier for technology and a source of inspiration for the arts. Achieving these aims is a multiyear project but huge progress has been made already with big plans for this year.
