Parents’ Association

Who are we?

We are a committee made up of volunteer parents who run PA fundraising events, but you as parents’ of the school are all members of the Parents’ Association.

Our main aim as the Surbiton High School Parents’ Association is to create a sense of community fuelled by fun whilst raising funds to make school wishes come true.

What do we do?

Events held anually range from Nearly New Uniform Sales, Prep School Discos, Quiz Night, Prep School Camping, Fireworks Night and Christmas Fair and our latest addition the Summer Festival. These all contribute to raising funds as well as community spirit.

We then use these funds to make ‘wishlist’ items possible. These ‘wishlist’ items can be anything that you, the pupils or the teachers nominate. They can be little items like new Netball posts to larger items like sponsoring the Girls’ Prep Playground refresh (find a full list of what we have done recently below)

We cannot however do it without your help, so please volunteer your time where and when you can.

You can follow our socials for all updates plus we circulate a termly newsletter.
