Whitchurch School Association Bucks is a registered charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, number 1130047.
The
Whitchurch School Association was set up primarily to raise
funds specifically for the school, to add to existing
resources and to provide an enhanced learning environment for
all of its pupils. The committee is made up almost entirely of
parents who have children currently at the school and it is
this shared interest and common goal focus that enables the
WSA to run so well and effectively. Thanks to such
wonderful parental support the WSA is able to raise around £10,000
each year.

raising happens throughout the academic year and everybody
within the committee plays an important and productive role
together with other parents and of course, the children.
Fundraising activities range from Fetes and Bazaars to Hotdog
Days and Discos. Each event meticulously planned to maximise
enjoyment!
We on the
committee always welcome new ideas and new people, and anyone
of us will be happy to discuss our current activities good or
bad!
