    The Parents’ Association was set up with two aims: to hold social events for the enjoyment of all, fostering relationships between staff, parents and children, and to raise funds to support the education of the School’s pupils. 

    During the last school year, Oswestry School PA has supported the School by providing the following:

    200 Club:

    The Oswestry School Parents’ Association 200 Club started in September 2003 and helps to raise funds for Oswestry School as well as providing an element of a ‘Lottery’ for the parents. Half of the proceeds are retained by the Parents’ Association to provide ‘extras’ for our children that the School would otherwise be unable to fund; the remainder of the proceeds from the Club go back to the subscribers in the form of cash prizes.

     

    Subscriptions to the 200 Club are £40 per year or £10 per quarter (an equivalent of only 77p per week). If you are a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your contribution to the 200 Club by completing a Gift Aid declaration form, enabling the Parents’ Association to claim back a further 28% from HMRC.

     

    10 prize draws are made each year, with bonus draws at Christmas and July. Recent winners are as follows:

     

    December 2009 - Hilary James, £40
    Bonus Prize - Susan Duncombe, £100

    January 2010 - Colin Niblock, £40

    February 2010 - Diane Thomas, £40

    March 2010 - Sue Morris, £40
