Parents Association
Welcome to Beths’ Parent Association! Our mission is to bring together parents, teachers, and scholars by raising funds to make the school an even better place to learn, while strengthening the school community.
Since the beginning of the 2022/2023 school year, we have raised a total of £61,565, with £38,601 funded for various school projects. These contributions continue to enhance the educational experience and support extracurricular activities for our students, making a positive impact on our school community.
Our Priorities and Objectives
Community
Our priority is to “establish and build communications between Beths parents, teachers and scholars that drive community learning and interactions.” We do this by building the parent community using Classlist. This community will allow you to connect and message parents in your class, your scholar’s year group and the school.
We aim to connect you to others for organising car shares, buying and selling school items, and understanding all the events and activities in the school.
Causes
Our second priority is to “understand parents, teachers and children’s unmet needs and unarticulated wants that will lead to a world-class education.” In partnership with the school, we identify and prioritise projects aimed at providing the best possible learning and social experiences for our scholars.
Recent highlights include a basketball scoreboard, 1st XV rugby shirts, 3D printers, Visualizers and many more.
Care
Our third priority is to “drive fundraising within the community to provide resources required that lead to enriched learning and social experiences.” We look to support and organise events for fundraising which help us achieve the causes that enrich your scholars and the school.
We also support other school events throughout the term by offering refreshments, uniform sales, and merchandise to the school community. These events include Sports Induction Days; Termly Concerts; Film Festival and Whole School Quiz Night.
