The St. Joseph's Association

Welcome to the St. Joseph's Association Web Page.

The function of the Association is to organise social events for members of the school community, and to raise money to buy extra equipment for the school.
The Association organises and assists with a significant number of events during each year. The Association considers it important to vary the activities to encourage the widest possible participation from the parents, teachers and children.
In addition to organising events such as the Summer and Christmas fayres, and evening social events, the Association helps with school events including providing refreshments for the Summer Concert, school productions, and coffee mornings.
Typically, the Association raises between £10,000 and £15,000 per annum.
Over the past few years a variety of equipment has been bought for the school including interactive whiteboards, three gazebos, playground benches and play equipment, cameras and numerous books. The most recent projects have been the 'Jungle Track ' for KS2 and the 'Whale Trail' for KS1.

Structure
The Association recently aplied for and recieved charitable status.
The Association's Trustees and Committee members meet once a term to plan and report on its activities. All parents are automatically members of the Association and are welcome to attend all meetings. Trustees and Committee members are appointed at the AGM, where the management posts are elected ( Chair, Vice-chair, Treasurer and Secretary).
Every effort is made to encourage parents to attend the AGM.

The Headteacher, who is also the President of the Association, makes requests to the Committee for money for projects. The Committee then decides to accept or reject the requests.

Regular newsletters are issued to communicate to the parents and teachers what the Association is doing and how the money is raised and spent. Please see below for the most recent newsletters.

Further details about the Association are available from the School Office.
