PTA
What is the PTA?
The Brill School PTA (Parent Teacher Association) raises money to provide our children with unforgettable learning experiences, enrichment opportunities and school supplies. We work closely with the school to agree what the money raised will be spent on.
We are an ambitious team and run a hugely successful portfolio of fundraising events throughout the year (in fact we raise more than double the national UK average!) from Art on the Hill and Big Brill Camp to Crazy Hair Day, the Christmas Party and Frozen Fridays.
What we achieved last term
We have just supported the school to buy 30 new iPads (the priority is Year 4 for the national multiplication tables check) and have exciting funding plans for the coming term.
Upcoming events
Please donate if you can at www.justgiving.com/campaign/brill
You can also raise funds by signing up to easy fundraising.
How can I get involved?
We are always looking for volunteers!
You don’t have to commit to all the events or join for the whole year. We’d just love you to offer as much help as you can, from doing face paints at the Christmas party or baking cakes to selling ice-creams on a Friday after school.
There are also plenty of projects that are more flexible and remote, such as setting up a Gift Aid process or developing new fundraising ideas.
Please register your interest using this form today!
Alternatively you can get in touch at brillpta@gmail.com, via our Facebook page, or come and have a chat with one of us in the playground at drop off or pick up.

Next Event
Easter Trail
No need to book, just turn up! Please note that the ticket price includes a prize of chocolate egg. All Easter Eggs that we have sourced carry a ‘may contain nuts’ allergy warning, so please note these must not be opened on school premises. If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements, and you are planning on them attending the Easter Trail, please contact the PTA directly by Monday 24th March on brillpta@gmail.com to ensure we can provide an alternative prize to the chocolate egg.
We are delighted that Big Brill Camp will be back in summer 2025!
This wonderful family festival, which raises vital funds for our school, will be held on 27-29 June 2025 and tickets are on sale now.
An early bird discount is available when one adult in your party volunteers to help for just two hours at the event. But hurry – the best slots go fast! This year, the organisers have also introduced Senior Citizen tickets for grandparents and older community members who would like to support the event.
For those new to Big Brill Camp, it’s a two-day festival and camping weekend, held in a stunning location near Brill. It offers children, families and friends of the village a unique, magical experience with live music and entertainment for all ages, plus everything you need on-site to enjoy a memory-making weekend of outdoor fun.
Last year we had rugby and football, yoga, family disco, grown ups’ silent disco, forest school, music and theatre workshops, wicker weaving, arts & crafts and a very popular slippy slide. This year’s event promises all of that and more, plus fantastic live music, comedy and delicious local food and drink from multiple pop-up stalls and the on-site bar. Stay tuned for updates!
On top of all that, the 2023 event raised more than £4,000 for the school, a large proportion of which went towards our school’s new outdoor play area. We are grateful to everyone who made this invaluable addition to our children’s school experience possible.
The festival is organised entirely by parents and friends of the school and embodies a spirit of fun, freedom, and community. If you would like to get involved in the 2025 event, please contact the organisers at info@bigbrillcamp.com.
