Fundraising Committee
After the success of the Christmas concert and fundraiser we are looking to get a small committee together to help plan other events and raise money for additional resources. We know that lots of parents have considerable experience in this area! We would like this to be the start of a PTA for the school. If you are interested in helping with this or have any ideas then please contact Julie Griffith or Jasmine Blanche on 020 7607 5885.

Parents' forums have been a great success in the past and are now a regular event in the school calendar. Forums are where parents/carers are updated on specific school issues and are able to discuss and contribute give their views on various topics. Past forums have looked at homework, behaviour, student voice and the school/home contract. We also had a 'hands-on' forum where parents and carers experienced the MLE, Fronter and MyMaths websites.
The forum meetings for 2012/13 are on Wednesday 23 January and Wednesday 10 July 2013 .
We would like to work with parents and carers to organise more social events and fundraisers. Would you like to help organise a coffee event, forum or social event for parents and carers? Have you got a good idea to involve parents/carers in school life?
