FSA (Families & Staff Association)

Reigate Priory FSA (Families and Staff Association) is an essential and valued part of the school community.  All parents, guardians and carers automatically become members by having a child at the school. All school staff are also included. There is an enthusiastic FSA committee that represents everyone, but there are plenty of opportunities for family members to get involved and to help out at any number of fundraising events.

WHAT DO THE FSA DO? - Like all school PTAs, the FSA has two main aims:

  • arrange social events for our members to enjoy which helps build the school community and raises funds which enable us to...
  • pay for activities and facilities which support our children's learning and development

WHAT YOU CAN DO?

  1. SIGN UP FOR THE PTA-EVENTS WEBSITE at www.pta-events.co.uk/reigateprioryfsa to register your child and their appropriate class. Here you can buy tickets, second-hand uniform and see the full calendar of upcoming events.
  2. MAKE SURE YOUR CLASS HAS A CLASS REP. OR SIGN UP TO BE ONE YOURSELF!

What does a rep do?

  • Opens up 2-way communication between families, teachers and the FSA
  • Encourages and coordinates parent/carer helpers from their class to support or help run FSA events
  • Disseminates information from the FSA to our families and feeds back questions and ideas
  • Attends FSA meetings (or asks someone in the class to attend if unable to come)

A rep is not expected to

  • Do everything themselves!
  • Volunteer extra time to run FSA event
  • Deal with school admin, questions or concerns

PLEASE MAKE SURE EVERY CLASS REP SENDS THEIR DETAILS TO THE SCHOOL RECEPTIONIST SO THAT OUR REPS LIST FOR THE YEAR IS UP TO DATE!

  1. SIGN UP TO CLASSLIST.COM -  along with information passed through your reps, it’s one of the 2 the main ways the FSA disseminates information to families

1. Go to www.classlist.com/start
2. Click ‘As a parent’
3. Search for Reigate Priory School and click ‘Yes’ if Charlotte Davies comes up as your ambassador

  1. VOLUNTEER FOR CERTAIN ROLES / FUNDRAISING EVENTS

This is a rewarding way to get involved, to have fun, and to meet other families at the school. Below is a list of volunteer roles to be filled – don’t worry there are handbooks from previous years for you to follow, so you wouldn’t be starting from scratch!!

  • YR 4 - FIREWORKS NIGHT - SAT 14 OCTOBER 2023

  • YR 6 - PRIORY ROCKS - JULY 2024 - We need a team to plan and organise this event.

Please be aware though, these events will still require ALL YEAR GROUPS to sign up to help on the day of the event (to help set up, clear up, to do shifts on the BBQ, Bar, Tuck Shop, popcorn stand etc)

The only way we can reach you is if you register with us via the PTA-Events website and Classlist, and if you have reps and we know who they are!
