The Parents' Association

St Augustine's Priory has a very active and supportive Parents' Association which raises money for many different aspects of school life such as; extra equipment, like tents and cooking gear for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, computer software for the music department, or improvements to drama and sporting facilities.

These fundraisers are often social occasions that provide a wonderful opportunity for parents, staff, pupils, family and friends to get together informally.

The Fayre raised a total of £2,117.70.
