A SAD GOODBYE
After 3 years of total dedication to SAPA, our Treasurer Carrie will be stepping down at the AGM. On behalf of the entire PTA, I want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Carrie for her outstanding service as Treasurer. Your dedication, attention to detail, and commitment to transparency have made a lasting impact.
The improvements you implemented — from streamlining financial processes to increasing accountability and accessibility — have set a new standard and will benefit our school community for years to come. Your work hasn’t just balanced the books; it’s built a stronger foundation for those who follow.
It is with sincere gratitude and sadness that we say goodbye as you step down from this role. Your leadership and contributions will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
Thank you again Carrie for everything you’ve done and we hope to see you at future events.
Warmest regards from, Julie Bastin (Chair) & the whole of the SAPA committee and members.
SAPA have had an amazing year of fundraising!
2025 saw us raise just under £12.5k!
Thank you so much for all of your contributions this year. Your generosity has allowed us to purchase some amazing items for school and this in turn will benefit your boys.
​
• 18 new tents • GPS trackers • 30 new laptops with storage and a charging station
• KS3 Library with 650 books • State of the art laser cutter • School and Papal flags
• Display case for trophies • Framed rugby shirts • New piano
Whether a regular attendee at our monthly meetings or a volunteer at one of our events, these purchases would not have been possible without the amazing dedication and support from our SAPA volunteers. Thank you all so much for your passion and continued dedication in 2025!
