How can you help?

Parents and Carers can support the PTA in several ways.

Firstly, you can become an active member getting involved in planning and organising events, and attending our regular PTA Open Meetings. 

Secondly, you can be a volunteer at one of our events by joining our Helpers List and responding to requests for help when you’re able to.

Thirdly, and most importantly come along to our events throughout the year. They are very enjoyable and are always raising money to support the development of STAGS.

School Fund

Since 1986 parents have been providing financial support to the PTA via regular monthly donations to the PTA School Fund, enabling significant PTA contribution to the development of STAGS.  Thanks to the Gift Aid scheme, a donation of £10 a month made under a Gift Aid declaration actually raises £150 each year for the school.

We are incredibly grateful for all School Fund donations however big or small, so if you would like to make a regular donation to the PTA please complete the School Fund Donation Form and set up a Standing Order from your bank account.  It is also possible to make one off donations to the PTA via the School Gateway online payment system. Please do Gift Aid any donations you make if you are able to.

We always hugely appreciate the support and generosity of the Parents and Carers of STAGS and would like say thank you for all that you do to promote and enhance the community of the school.

School Lottery 

The STAGS PTA can also be supported by the members of our community aged over 16 purchasing a weekly £1 lottery ticket from Our School Lottery. 

How it Works

• Our page is  https://www.yourschoollottery.co.uk/lottery/school/st-albans-girls
• Each School Lottery prize pot is determined by the amount of £1 tickets sold each week. 
• Each ticket purchased online (via a direct debit system which can be cancelled at any time) consists of 6 numbers between 0 and 9
• There are TWO prize draws per ticket purchased: the STAGS fund which is a guaranteed winner for our school every Saturday which is drawn on a raffle basis, the winner is selected by a computer at the School Lottery HQ and then each Saturday ALL schools' lottery ticket numbers are entered into a JACKPOT draw, where if you match all 6 numbers you win the £25k JACKPOT!
• Your £1 ticket cost is spilt as follows: 40% goes to the school PTA fund, 36% is put into the school prize kitty and 24% is given to School Lottery for admin and VAT
• All T&Cs with information such as how long you need between signing up and your numbers going 'live' are on the website and can be found here:  https://www.yourschoollottery.co.uk/game-rules
