The Beaumont School Association (BSA)

Many parents/carers bring their experience into school to benefit pupils in a variety of ways; they give interview experience to older pupils, provide invaluable help with activities such as Careers Fairs, talk to classes about their work, arrange company visits or Work Experience, and offer materials useful for school courses. They also participate in our various fund-raising functions throughout the year, accompany school trips, run a Lost Property service, sell nearly-new uniform, and contribute in many important ways to school life.

The BSA Committee, currently comprising a group of parents and staff, plays an additional and very important role, helping at school functions and running social and fundraising events. We hold about six meetings a year and for the larger events, such as the Christmas Fair, we form sub-committees to spread the workload more effectively. The committee representatives play an important part in bringing the school community together and generating significant funds which can then be used to enhance the school experience for our children.

The BSA donates funds to all the departments to enrich the teaching for all students, as well as giving sizeable funds, whenever possible, to a particular department where a significant donation will provide a benefit. We also donate some funds to an “inclusion fund” which assists in supporting pupils on key curriculum trips where costs are an issue for the family.

Here is a selection of the ways in which the BSA has enriched the school over the past year:
