Welcome to the Snaresbrook Prep Parents’ Association (SPPA) page!

SPPA is the place to go if you feel like playing a more active part in the school and want to make life at school more fun for your child or children.

After an enforced break in fundraising activities due to the Covid related restrictions, the SPPA is now getting back up and running and we have a new committee for the current academic year.

What does SPPA do?

Our constitution (which can be read at the bottom of this page) sets out our objectives which in summary are:

• to foster extended relationships between parents and between parents and staff to enhance the overall atmosphere at school;
• engaging in fun activities to enhance pupils’ enjoyment of school; and
• funding initiatives, activities or equipment over and above what the school would be reasonably expected to provide.

How do we do this?

We have a calendar of events that we host in order to meet these objectives which includes:

• funding and organising a free disco for all pupils at the end of the autumn term;
• making sure the hall looks festive for the Christmas period;
• providing pancakes for pupils at the school’s annual pancake race in the spring term;
• organising a fete in the summer term, typically every other year; and
• other fundraising events throughout the year including cake sales and book swaps.

Funds raised are used to cover costs of events, to contribute towards the cost of the popular whole school trip in the summer term and also to fund other expenditure proposals that help us to meet our objectives (which are considered on a case by case basis).

We also help with fundraising for the charity the school has chosen to support on an annual basis.

Who are the committee members?

How can you get involved? 

All parents, guardians and carers of pupils attending the school are automatically members of the SPPA and are invited to contribute ideas on how SPPA can help enhance school life.

Meetings

We usually hold one official meeting per term with the participation of members of the Leadership Team. Dates are communicated in advance via class reps and by email from the school office.  The meeting is typically at 8pm and all members are invited to attend and contribute.

Meetings are currently being held via Zoom.

Events

You can get more involved in any event at any time throughout the year, regardless of which class or classes your child or children are in.   We welcome volunteers to the committee including on an ad hoc basis for individual events.

We know that most parents have busy schedules so we believe a small contribution from lots of people is the easiest way to meet our objectives and enable us to run fun events for the children to take part in.  You are welcome to be involved in as many events as you are willing and able to!
