The Stopfordian Parents’ Association organises various social events for the children and parents (eg school discos, cinema nights, bowling nights, balls and the annual quiz night).
It runs the second hand uniform sales and is responsible for organising the school’s Christmas fair.
Through these events the SPA raises money to provide additional resources for the benefit of the children at the school. Examples are:
- A substantial contribution to the building of the climbing wall.
- Canoes to enable the Junior School to start a canoe club.
- Playground equipment for the Junior School.
- Equipment for various Senior School extracurricular clubs.
- Mannequins for the school nurse for first aid training.
- Kit for various Senior School sports teams.
- Classroom games and toys chosen by the Infant children and delivered by Father Christmas.
The SPA also organises events to raise funds for external charities and is currently raising funds for a new school minibus. The SPA has committed to make a contribution of half the cost (£12,500) from its funds over the next 2 years.
