The Parents' Association exists so that a committee of like minded parents can organise social events for the entire College Community to enjoy.
The Parents' Association welcomes all parents to attend meetings and social events organised for them. Parents are automatically members of the Parents' Association when their child joins the school.
Year Reps
Our PA Year Reps are invaluable! Each year group has one or two parents as designated Year Reps (from the same or different Houses) to represent the year and are responsible for setting up parent social events within their year group such as coffee mornings and/or evenings out.
The Year Reps also liaise with the Parents' Association and Marketing Department to help promote College and PA events. Year reps often attend Parents' Association committee meetings, but it isn't a requirement to be a year rep.
The Year Reps for 2024-2025 and some of the committee members are at the bottom of this page.
We have been advised that the preferred method of parent to parent communication is via year group WhatsApp groups. New joiners will be sent a link to the group to join at the start of the year - at other times of the year, please contact the parent year rep to be asked to be added to the group.
