Welcome to the St Teresa’s School Association
The School Association (SA) is a registered charity in England and Wales.
We are a group of parents working together to help build the fantastic St Teresa’s community and at the same time raise as much money as possible for the school, all the while providing fun for everyone with events and activities throughout the academic year.
We are an integral part of the school community and work tirelessly to support all areas of the school and are inclusive of everyone.
Over the past years, we have successfully delivered some fantastic projects: we helped to fund the purchase of the convent land and build the pirate ship, provided a new lighting system in the school hall, helped to fund the building of two new playground trim trails, helped purchase the beloved school minibus and we help our children’s day-to-day development in the classroom with smaller projects like the provision of new IT equipment.
Our fundraising is supported by a busy programme of events, including kids disco nights, cinema nights, Christmas and summer fairs, family fun nights and more, as well as tuck shops and event refreshments.
Want to be part of our journey? Read on and see how you can help!
