Use COLPAI’s Bookshop
- COLPAI PTA has an online bookshop: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/COLPAI
- This is part of uk.bookshop.org which supports independent bookshops and good causes with 10% of each purchase going to the page owner and another 10% into a profit pool for independent bookshops.
- So, if you buy any books from the COLPAI shop, 10% of your purchase price will go to the PTA.
- You can either buy books from the COLPAI PTA book list (contact Bethan Ferguson if you have ideas of suggestions to include) or search for and buy other books listed on the site.
- The key thing is to make sure that you enter via https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/COLPAI so that the school benefits.
- Share the COLPAI link with relatives, friends, neighbours and passing acquaintances and ask them to do the same
- Send Bethan suggestions for book lists or lists you would like to see! b.ferguson@islingtonprimary.cola.org.uk
Donate to PTA instead of giving class birthday gifts
- Some families suggest a donation to the PTA in lieu of gifts at class birthday parties.
- There is a link on ParentPay (‘Birthday’) which can be used for this purpose. Or you can donate directly

Donate second-hand uniform
- Good condition second-hand uniform (for re-sale, not for recycling) can be donated at the school office.
- At the school’s discretion, uniform is provided to families who need it at no cost
- Once a term we will hold a second-hand uniform sale (these are currently planned to be attached to specific fundraising event – e.g. Festive Fair).
