What is the Home School Association?
The Home School Association (HSA) is parents and the school working and fundraising together to make a positive difference to the school experience of all the pupils at the school.
What does the HSA do?
The HSA organises events and activities which enable families, teachers and staff at the school to make a positive difference to the school experience of all the pupils at the school by: fundraising for items and resources that the school could not otherwise afford; supporting after school activities; providing funding and help for school trips; and helping to provide a richer educational experience for all pupils.

Would you like to make a difference in your child’s school experience? Would you like to get to know other parents? Then come along and get involved in our active and successful Home School Association. However much or little time you have to spare - it will make a real difference to the HSA and to the children.
