Welcome to the web pages for the Lawrence Sheriff School Parents’ Association.  I hope that in the pages of this site you’ll get a snapshot of the way that parents are an integral part of the school community, and that they’ll encourage you to join us in our efforts to support the school.

As the current Chair, I am proud to be an active member of the country’s oldest Parents’ Association and to continue the work of my forerunners in maintaining strong links between the parents, students, staff and the local community through our regular meetings and events.

Established in 1908, the Association’s main objectives have been to “... advance the education of pupils in the school, in particular by: developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school; and engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.”  Although the way in which parents have supported the school has changed over the years, I believe that one of the reasons for the association’s longevity has been the way that parents have really taken these objectives to heart.

Of course we could not fulfil any of the P.A. objectives without the assistance of the parents, staff and students and I should like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your contributions in whatever form they take: attending the various events, donations, buying Grand Draw tickets, providing support as mentors and advisers to school activities, etc.

Thank you for your interest – if you would like to find out more, please contact us.
