Welcome to the Rugby High School PTA page

Thank you for taking an interest in who we are and what we do. 

Our Aim:
The aim of the PTA is to raise money in a fun and sociable way and to provide the school with extra funding to spend on equipment and resources to enhance your child’s educational experience.  In recent years we have raised funds to fund Operation Theatre Live, bought extra-curricular resources for Drama & English, and bought a new kiln for the Art Dept; just to name a few.

Every parent/carer that has a child at Rugby High School is a member of the PTA. Some parents/carers are more actively involved than others, but all help is always greatly appreciated by the committee members. 

Next PTA Meeting

The next PTA meeting will be held on Tuesday, 17th November 2026 at 6.30pm in the Sports Hall Classroom and online via Teams. 

Please come along to the next meeting to find out more about the PTA!

Please join us and support our fundraising activities; the PTA exists to enrich the learning experiences of all students at Rugby High School.

PTA Meetings

Meetings are friendly and informal and usually last for about an hour. Please join us and support our fundraising activities; the PTA exists to enrich the learning experiences of all our daughters and sons attending Rugby High School.

If you are a parent who can spare a few hours to help with fundraising, have a particular skill that you would be willing to ‘donate’ to the PTA or work for a company that would be able to match-fund our fundraising activities, please get in touch with us at rhspta@rugbyhighschool.co.uk.

All proceeds go to the PTA which provides funding for academic and non-academic related activities for our students.

These sales are your chance to make huge savings on good quality pre-used uniform for your daughter and play your part in raising money for the school.

Update on PTA fundraising

The PTA fundraising in 2025-26 will be put to good use, funding extra-curricular activities for your daughters and sons at the school.  Thank you to all who participated in our events and bought drinks and snacks at our refreshment stalls.

Over the past year, the PTA organised and ran a variety of events to bring the school community together and raise funds:

• Parent-Daughter Tea (Yr7 & Yr12) – A relaxed, social gathering for parents and daughters across two year groups, offering a chance to connect outside of the usual school routine.
• Winter Fayre – Our flagship seasonal event, bringing together stalls, activities, and festive cheer for the whole school community.
• Uniform Sales – Held multiple times throughout the year, giving families an affordable way to buy and pass on school uniform.
• Battle of the Bands – A lively showcase of student musical talent, giving performers a platform and the school community a fun night out. PTA supported the event by providing the refreshments.
• Movie Night – PTA hosted a movie night for Yr7 students, screening a film chosen by student vote, with the PTA providing popcorn and drinks.

Thanks to the success of these events, the PTA was able to contribute the following amount back to the school this year:

£6,623.39

These funds go directly towards bids submitted by teachers and students, supporting activities and equipment that the school's core budget doesn't stretch to cover.
