Parents' Association
The Hazelwood Parents’ Association (HPA) is a longstanding and energetic part of the school community. With a number of varied events throughout the year and a team of volunteer parents pulling it together, it helps raise several thousand pounds annually to support the school by providing additional facilities for the benefit of all the children from the Nursery and Early Years Foundation Stage through to Year 8.
We have a team of parents supported by school staff who organise events but we are always looking for more people to help. If you would like to come on board or attend a meeting, please contact the Chair, Hebba Vercoe on hpa@hazelwoodschool.com. Even if you feel that you cannot commit to being on the committee, please do get in touch with any offer of help or ideas for events or sponsorship. We would love to hear from you!
Further details of all forthcoming events will be circulated in the Nutshell and through Form Reps in due course.
HPA Fundraising
The money raised by the HPA has been given towards a number of projects and, most recently, these have included:
- All-weather astro pitch
