Who says kids should have all the fun?
We’re determined not to bore you with cheesy slogans about ‘creating community’ or ‘forging friendships’, but the fact is we really do think our school is special. Gatehouse is thriving, we have more pupils and parents now than ever before, which is why Gatehouse Parents Association has a very specific role to play.
As well as fund raising activities (which are not necessarily vital, but do add year on year to the facilities and equipment available), the GPA’s task is to make sure parents enjoy belonging to the school as much as their kids do.
Children love it when their parents are involved in the school, and it doesn’t have to take much time or effort. Just fill in the form below, and tell us what you might be able to do to help (we’ve included a list of proposed forthcoming events to help get you started). Or fill in the ‘interests/occupations’ section – and we’ll work out how best we can use you.
