Parent Staff Association (PSA)
We are a vibrant community of parents dedicated to organising enjoyable fundraising events. Joining our group of volunteers is a great way to meet other parents, and to feel part of the school community.
The three core aims of the PSA are:
- Community and Belonging – to cultivate a strong sense of community among parents
- Bridging and Activation – to serve as a vital link between the school and the parents
- Funding – to support the students by providing additional resources not funded elsewhere
Previous events have included Quiz Nights, Christmas Fairs, Fashion Shows, a virtual Cookalong and School Birthday celebrations featuring Bingo nights, a Ceilidh and Murder Mystery Dinners. We continuously seek new ideas and welcome enthusiastic volunteers to join us. Each class is represented by a volunteer who helps communicate updates and opportunities to the wider parent body.
The funds raised through our events have made a significant impact. In 2024, we are proud to have contributed a total of £23,300 which has funded enhancements for the STEM club (£1,300), safety equipment for the new trampoline club (£4,000) and refurbishment of the upstairs changing rooms (£18,000). In 2023, our donation of £15,000 supported the refurbishment of the school hall, and in 2022 we contributed £10,000 towards outfitting the new Sports Centre.
All parents are automatically members of the PSA while they have a child at the school. Classlist (an online school community app) is the PSA’s main communication channel with parents and is also how we sell tickets to our events. We recommend that all parents sign up to Classlist as soon as possible.
As a Registered Charity (No. 285731), the PSA holds an AGM every September to which all parents are invited. In addition, any parent may also attend the Committee meetings which are held every half-term to observe and contribute from the floor. Most of our meetings are virtual to make it easier for everyone to attend.
