Parents Association
Welcome to the web page for the Lawrence Sheriff School Parents’ Association.
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.”
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.
The Parents' Association has its own constitution and submits reports to the Charity Commission every year.It has a small committee, at a minimum comprising:
- Chair (the President of the PA)
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- 3 'ordinary' members
Where possible we also elect deputies for the chair, secretary and treasurer to help with cover, but this is not a requirement of our constitution. The AGM is held in September each year, where the committee is elected for the coming academic year.
