Over the years we have helped fund instruments, wellbeing initiatives, outdoor learning, and school trips, benefitting every curriculum area and every Year group at the school.

More recently we have also supported the Orchard project, which is an ongoing initiative the school is working on.

Mental Health Group
The Parents/Carers Mental Health Network group has been meeting since 2022, and has been a great source of support for parents and caregivers and, through them, our students.
The group will continue to exchange advice and support, and we would like to extend our appreciation to former PTA Co-chair Anna for arranging the professional workshops and organising the follow-up meetings. Sarah,, a Yr10 parent is now helping co-ordinate.
​
Everyone is welcome to join, just send an email to sydenhamschpta@gmail.com so we can update you on future meetings.

We will next meet up in January 2025, date TBC
Uniform Sales
Browse the school online uniform shop here.
Let's help parents continue to keep uniform costs down, at the same time as fundraising for your school. In particular the school always need good quality blazers, kilts and jumpers and asks for help with giving items in storage a fresh wash. If you would like to help out with this, please contact us at sydenhamschpta@gmail.com
Supporting the Dance, Music, Drama and Art performances: An Opportunity to Get Involved!
Sydenham School host a variety of creative events throughout the year, including art exhibitions, dance recitals, drama productions (such as the 2023 hit, Matilda), and musical shows like Battle of the Bands.
We're constantly looking for volunteers to lend a hand in serving drinks and snacks at the bar, and we gladly accept sponsorships from local businesses to ensure these events are a success.
​
Don't have the time to volunteer? No worries – you can still support our fundraising mission in many ways.
Attend one of our social events and buy a cake, sign up to Easyfundraising for Sydenham PTA to make a free donation or ask your company to give a donation!

Celebrating Black History Month
On November 2, 2023, we had the privilege of hosting a live talk event in celebration of Black History Month. Eight dynamic speakers from African and African-Caribbean backgrounds took to the stage to share their inspiring stories and experiences to parents, students, and carers. The atmosphere was electric, and the insights were profound! It was both a heartwarming and educational event that truly embodied the spirit of Black History Month.
