The S.O.S. (previously Parent Teacher Association) is an organisation of parents and staff. Its role is to encourage closer links between home and school. PTAs are best known for their fundraising work, but they have a useful social function too. Fundraising events provide an opportunity for parents, staff and pupils to get together. Most PTAs raise money through **events**. They often hold one main event each school term – for example, an autumn disco, a sponsored event in the spring and a summer fair. Other PTA events include school uniform sales, quiz evenings and many more. We are always looking for new **fundraising ideas**. ### ### Information for Parents - [How We Keep in Touch](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/how-we-keep-in-touch) - [Calendar](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/calendar) - [Term Dates](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/term-dates) - [Inset Dates](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/inset-dates) - [Uniform](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/uniform) - [Breakfast/After School Club](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/breakfast-after-school-club) - [Absence and Medicine](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/absence-and-medicine) - [School Meals](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/school-meals) - [Supporters of Sholing (SOS)](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/supporters-of-sholing-pta) - [GDPR](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/gdpr) - [Advice to Parents on Devices and Apps Use](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/parents/advice-to-parents-on-devices-and-apps) ![Sholing Junior School](https://files.schudio.com/sholing-junior-school/images/logo/Sholing-logo-Partners-footer-2.png) ### Sholing Junior School Middle Road Sholing Southampton Hampshire SO19 8PT 023 8044 7448 ### Useful Links - [Our Partnerships](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/key-information/hamwic-trust-and-mayflower-partnership) - [Safeguarding](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Attendance](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/our-school/attendance) - [Curriculum](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/our-learning/curriculum) - [Careers](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/job-vacancies) ### Translation © Copyright 2024–2026 Sholing Junior School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://sholing-jun.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
