The School Society
The School Society is an organisation consisting of parents, teachers and friends of the school. The committee, comprising teaching staff, parents and village representatives, meets regularly and organises meetings and activities which are both enjoyable and informative. We enjoy strong support from our parents and regard their involvement as being essential to the continued success of the school.
JOINT CHAIRS: Hannah Curry and Carol House
VICE CHAIR: Mary Douglas-Jones
SECRETARY: Anne Collier
TREASURER: Bernie Braidley
The School Society runs social events to raise money for the school and to enable parents to get to know each other. During 2008-9 we held a Craft Fair, Bingo Evening and a Quiz, and raised over £2000 for the school. We also provided refreshments for the Carol Service and Year 6 Welcome Evening, and funded the purchase of 29 DVDs in French, Spanish and German (with subtitles) for the library, and specialised scissors for the textile department.
Thanks to everyone who came to the quiz - we made a profit of £979.81 for the school. Thanks also to all of you who bought bedding plants from AJP Growers. The School Society has received a commission of £204.90!
Recent School Society payments to the school have been for:
(May) Half the cost of a new software system for GCSE and A level Physics (£750)
(June) Full cost of field work equipment for GCSE Geography (£695)
(June) Part cost of an interactive whiteboard for Humanities (£500)
