How many people do we need? The more the merrier but at least 3 or 4. Ideally we'd love parents of younger years who can commit to helping for a few years (although all help is welcome!).

Time commitment: Planning starts in January with the event usually held in mid-May.

May: around 2-4 hours per week

Event weekend: availability required for set-up from Friday after school and clear-up finishing Sunday morning.

Support you'll have: One year's training, a full handover and clear guidance from the 2025 organisers plus a clearly defined role in the team. You'll also be supported by the friendly and experienced PTA committee, helping with everything from booking suppliers and bouncy castles to communications, ticketing, licensing and problem-solving.

Why do it: Bring a little Glastonbury to Claremont! A highlight of the school calendar, loved by children and parents alike, and a major fundraiser that makes a real difference to the school community.
In Short: Ideal for music lovers, those who enjoy the buzz of events and want to be involved in one of Claremont's big moments. You'll form part of a team and work with the whole community to pull together a fun memorable event for kids and adults alike.

WEBSITE MANAGER - help keep our PTA website fresh, useful and up to date. A great way to contribute if you prefer calm, focused tasks to event-day madness.​

Time commitment: Once you're familiar with the system, this role takes up to 1 hour per month on average.

How complicated is it? We use Wix, which is widely described as "Duplo for website building". If you're reasonably computer literate  literate you'll be able to pick it up quickly - and if you already know Wix, even better.

Support you'll have: 

- A full handover from two committee members who built the site

- Ongoing technical support from another parent with Wix experience

- Collaboration with the PTA comms person to ensure relevant, clear, consistent messages. 

Who it'll suit: Perfect for someone who enjoys technical, behind-the-scenes tasks, likes discrete, clearly defined jobs, and is comfortable using a computer (or already familiar with Wix).

In-short: Spend around an hour a month keeping the PTA website up to date using an easy system (Wix). Great if you quiet, behind-the-scenes tasks with clear handover and support.

You can shape this role entirely around your availability.
