Just as St Paul’s students come from every kind of background, so do their parents. Coming together with their daughters' interests in mind as part of our unique community, parents are highly involved in the running of the school. Some participate by supporting our lively calendar of events, many share their professional experience and there are many ways to become part of the school’s daily life by volunteering.

The school stood up for everything we believe in and helped us to pass it on to our daughter, so giving a little back was just the right thing to do.

Our parents’ association – we call it the parents' guild – is the focus for parents’ contributions to the school. Besides invaluable practical help in the library, the shop, lost property and flower arranging, the guild organises an extensive range of social and fund-raising events, from quiz nights and drinks parties to a sports club and the biennial Christmas fair. Parents' fund-raising has helped us provide bursaries, offer travel scholarships, equip new classrooms and support local, national and international charities.
