Covering all year groups and coming from a range of professional backgrounds, meet some of the POA…
“Volunteering shows our kids that helping out isn’t a chore – it’s just part of being a good person and embracing community life. Juggling work with POAing is busy, but so much fun!”
“I joined the POA because it was important to me that my children see the value of showing up, offering support, and contributing to our community. To then witness the positive impact such involvement brings to the whole school makes it worthwhile.”
“Being on the POA over the last 5 years has given me so much – great friends, fun events, and a real sense of community. I’ve loved meeting other parents, helping raise money for the school, and seeing the kids so happy at events like the colour run.”
“The POA has given me the chance to contribute to a wonderful school community and be part of the moments my children will always remember – and attending the occasional POA meeting where wine and snacks are provided is never a hardship!”
“As a full time working Mum I feel lucky to have met so many lovely people through the POA who have become firm friends. The fact that what we do puts smiles on kids’ faces and brings families together is what it’s all about for me.”
“I love volunteering for the POA! It’s fun to see events come together behind the scenes and connect with parents from different years in the planning process. Doesn’t hurt that some meetings take place in Waitrose with a hot chocolate and cake – yum!”
“Being part of the POA is incredibly rewarding for us and the kids. Not only do we get to help create special memories for all, but it’s also a wonderful way to show the kids the importance of coming together to support one another.”
