The Academy of Woodlands PTA are fundamental to bridging the gap between the School and the Children and Families who are a part of the Woodlands Community. The PTA has a lot to offer, from various events in and around the school for our Children and Families, to offering a Preloved Uniform Shop.

A Note from the ChairpersonWelcome to the Academy Of Woodlands PTA!
Dear Academy of Woodlands Families,
We are excited and honoured to introduce ourselves as the newly voted FOAOW team at The Academy of Woodlands! Thank you for placing your trust in us—we are truly grateful for the opportunity to serve our school community.
Our goal this year is to strengthen the partnership between families, teachers, and staff, and to support the wonderful students who make our school such a special place. We look forward to fostering open communication, encouraging involvement, and creating meaningful experiences that enrich school life for everyone.
We invite you to get involved, share your ideas, and connect with us throughout the year. Together, we can continue to build a positive, supportive, and vibrant community for our children.
Thank you for your continued support. We’re excited for the year ahead!
Warm regards,

PTA Events
We have teamed up with PTA Events, a web-based company which will make running and raising funds for the AOW PTA even easier. This is a one-stop-shop for parents where you can buy tickets, access our newsletters announcing upcoming events, volunteer and much, much more.
To use this system, you will need to register first. It is very simple to register:
1. Use our QR Code to take you to the page.
2. Register with our organisation code - aow.pta
3. You can register on your desktop following this link: https://www.pta-events.co.uk/aow-pta/
4. You will then need to be approved by our administrators (We are all working parents, so this may not be done straight away). Once approved you will then have access to our own AOW PTA website.
School Uniform
We have the opportunity to offer parents the choice to shop from our PRELOVED UNIFORM SHOP. This is school uniform that has been donated by parents because it still has lots of life to live, we can therefore offer it at a very reasonable price. Our shop is generally open for the last week of the month, but we are happy to fulfil requests via our Facebook page.
We also earn commission when name labels are purchased via Stamptastic or Stickins.
Hate the thought of ironing in labels to all your children clothes? You don’t have to. We have also registered with STAMPTASTIC.
Every time someone uses this web address, https://bit.ly/STAMPME72DU, to make a purchase it earns the PTA a 15% commission and by using PTA code ME72DU you earn a £4.99 discount when purchasing the Deluxe Bundle. The bundle contains a Stamptastic Personalised Name Stamp, a Stamptastic Ink Pad and a White Fabric Pen. (Additional items can be added as required). The bundle costs £26.99, but on entering the PTA code (or visiting Stamptastic via the affiliate link) the discount of £4.99 will be deducted, so the cost of the Stamptastic Personalised Name Stamp, Stamptastic Ink Pad and the White Fabric Pen will be £22.
Stikins Name labels allow you to add stick-on name tags to your child's clothing, shoes, pen, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other school kit. Most name labels are stuck to the wash-care labels on clothing. Great for school uniforms, sports clubs and nursing homes; name labels help to reduce lost property and ensure your child returns home with their own uniform (and not someone else’s).
How it works: Each order placed quoting the school reference number 25826 will provide our school with 30% commission. Go to https://www.stikins.co.uk/ for more information and to place an order.
Easyfundraising
We’ve registered The Academy Of Woodlands PTA - Gillingham with easyfundraising, which means over 4,000 shops and sites will now donate to us for FREE every time you use easyfundraising to shop with them.
These donations will help SO MUCH, so please sign up to support us – it’s completely FREE and doesn’t take long.
To date £545.41 has been raised by parents of the school!

Fun & Active Playgrounds
We’ve entered in the Fun & Active Playgrounds competition and are in with a chance of winning a playground transformation worth £3000 in time for the new academic year! We’re crossing our fingers as the Silveri Sports Package includes 6 bright and colourful playground markings that encourage physical play and activity. With a Netball Court, Dance With Me, Active Trail, Jump Game, Dartboard and 4-Way Hopscotch – the range of markings can be used to enhance breaktimes and PE lessons!
