St Catherines Association

The St Catherine's Association has been set up for parents, carers, friends, teachers and non-teaching staff to raise extra money for the school and ultimately the children.

The Association works closely with the school to plan and pull off successful events. This valuable working relationship has helped generate a considerable amount of money. The school use this money to purchase resources for the children's classrooms to enrich the learning experience. We appreciate all the support you have given us to date and hope you will continue to do so in the future.

The more we raise, the more our children benefit. This is YOUR Association!

The Committee

We are a very active and friendly parent committee of parents who meet regularly to discuss fundraising initiatives and organise events, and are supported by a team of parent/teacher-volunteers who give their time to help out at some of these events. Each class has one or two representatives for their year group.

If you are interested in becoming more involved in the Association or just want to come along to see what is going on, please join us.

• Do you work for/own a company that might be prepared to support the Association by donating a raffle prize or sponsoring a stall at our major events e.g. Summer Fayre.
