Parents' Association
We Need Your Help !
The Parents' Association is a committee whose members help organise fund raising events.
We appreciate the busy schedule we all have as parents, but would encourage you to offer your support and help even if it is for only the odd hour or two helping out at an event. New members with fresh ideas and enthusiasm are required if we are to continue to support and raise funds for the boys and girls of our school.
The Committee meets routinely once each term, with other meetings organised from time to time, as the committee requires, the Annual General Meeting being held in January each year. New members are always welcome

- A pair of 5-a-side football nets
- A contribution of £2,000 towards a Climbing Frame for the New Pre-Prep
- Display boards for Senior School Library
- Four Computers for Prep School classrooms
- Digital Camera for general use in the School
- Office furniture/coffee machine for the Peer Support Group
- 3 new football kits for the Prep

- Pool table for Sixth Form Common Room
- 150th Anniversary Pens for all pupils
- Playground equipment for Prep

Income generated by the Association has up to now been primarily through the Bazaar, and smaller events held throughout the year including Prep discos and unifrom sales and more importantly the hard work and relentless enthusiasm of the Officers, Committee Members and a hard core of volunteers.
