Parent Teacher and Student Association
Welcome to all our community of students and all of the supporting people around them!
We are the Croxley Danes School Parent Teacher and Student Association (CDS PTSA). All parents and carers at the school automatically become members of the CDS PTSA. We have expanded our name from the standard Parents Association used by many schools in order to represent the efforts and enthusiasm of the students and teachers in providing for our events.
We are very privileged to be supporting such a wonderful community of students and their families through social events and fundraising activities. The money raised is used for enrichment of the school experience for Croxley Danes students. We provide funding for staff-suggested initiatives that benefit students.
Below are just some of the items the PTSA has purchased for the school so far -
● Sound system (Music department)
● Stage in a box (Drama department)
● Life sized skeletons (Art department)
● Drum kit (Music department)
● Printing press (Art department)
● 3 x DSLR Canon cameras (Art department)
● Lighting for the Drama studio (Drama department)
● Duke of Edinburgh Expedition rucksacks
● Football kits for the Girls U13 and U15 teams (PE department)
● 30 Djembe drums (Music department)
As well as continuing to raise funds to provide items such as the above for our students, in the background we are also striving to raise enough to allow us to support a Sixth Form lounge and a breakout building to be situated in the beautiful school grounds.
How can I get involved?
If you would like to get involved, please come along to our next PTSA meeting. Meetings are held locally every half term and all parents / carers / teachers are very welcome. We are a really open and inclusive group and welcome any level of input, big or small. We are positively supported and encouraged by Assistant Head, Mrs Cox, who also attends to facilitate all of our activities. Please keep an eye on the weekly school bulletin, as well as the PTSA Facebook and X accounts for up to date information regarding upcoming meetings.

How to donate old uniform
We always need uniform donations!
Donations of uniform and sportswear (including sport shoes) and barely used school shoes are always gratefully received.
Please drop them off at the school’s reception.
All funds raised from our sales are donated back to the school.
How do we raise funds for the school?
Some of the ways we raise funds are by running events such as Quiz Nights and school discos. We also regularly run our popular refreshments stall at these events, as well as at Parents Evenings, concerts and shows. We sell New Starter and Year 10 stationery packs and pre-loved school uniform and PE Kit.
We welcome any new ideas regarding fundraising. If you would like to get involved in any way, please do join us at our next meeting, the date of which will be announced in the weekly school bulletin as the time approaches.
