Horfield School Association
WHAT IS THE SCHOOL ASSOCIATION?All parents and guardians of pupils are automatically members of the Association. It is run by a committee made up of parents elected for a three year term at the AGM, a teacher and a governor, who meet several times a term.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
To raise funds for additional equipment and resources for our children. To help and support the staff at a variety of school events. To provide additional links between the parents and teachers and add to feel of community within the school.
FUND RAISING EVENTS
We have several regular events during the school year, which include the Christmas and Summer Fayres, which between them raised £5,000 last year.
We also have an Easter Egg Raffle, and two discos in January and July, which the children love.
During the year we hold monthly cake sakes, with parents supplying the cakes on a rota basis. In the year 2000/2001 almost £400 was raised. The sale on 20th November 2001 made a record £110.
Plans for 2002 include a car boot/table top sale to be held on 16th March 2002.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
The SA sells a range of uniform at virtually cost price. Our shop is open every Thursday morning (8.45-9.15).
We also provide a creche for pre-school children at several school events such as the Infant Nativity and End of Term services. This minimises the disruption to performing children and allows parents to enjoy the event in peace and quiet.
