Quiz Night 

Around £2000 is raised at the annual Quiz night which is usually held in March. Many thanks to all the volunteers who help to make the evening happen and to those parents and teachers who attend, whom without there would be no event.  

Comedy Night

Comedy Night is always a roaring success. This is an 18+ event that takes place in the Autumn term. The comedians raise the roof with (raucous) laughter and this year we managed to raise over £3000 for the school.  Many thanks to all of you who attend this event, supporting the school whilst enjoying an evening out and even more thanks to our Comedy Night co-ordinator and wonderful team of volunteers. 

Christmas Tree Sale

In December we hold our annual Christmas tree sale, selling top quality non-drop Nordmann Fir trees, we also sell festive goodies and treats. 25% from every tree sale goes directly to the Waldegrave School fund. We sold more trees than ever in 2020 and raised £1,330.

Bingo

The PTA presents Bingo Nights in September exclusively for the new Year 7 families, and acts as an icebreaker and an opportunity for newbies to Waldegrave to meet.  These are fun, family evenings open to students and their parents.

Summer and Christmas Raffles

The PTA usually hold raffles at Christmas and again in the Summer, these are hugely popular and fabulous fundraisers. The 2021 Christmas Raffle raised an amazing £3755 whilst in the Summer Draw a further £3240 went to the school fund. With thanks to our benefactors who donated prizes (The Ivy Café, Chatora, Ristorante Del Posto, Osteria Pulcinella, WWWT London Wetland Centre, Waterstones, Knights Basketball, Prince Albert pub, Oliver Bonas, Pins & Needles, Real Drinks, Grace and Flora, Richmond and Rose Threatres) as well as many donations from parents.
