Broomgrove Schools’ Parent-Teacher Association

Every parent and carer with a child at Broomgrove School is automatically a member of the BSA; this means that everyone has the automatic right to vote at our AGM each year.

Who are we?

We have five core roles for parents/carers to take each year with additional roles on the committee for the Headteachers of each school,

Chair: Marisa Brennan
Vice Chair Infants: Vacant

Vice Chair Juniors: Stacey Street

Treasurer: Mairgheard Sharpe

Secretary: Claire McCourt

If you would like to get involved, have an idea or would just like further information then please contact Marisa on chairbroomgrovebsa@gmail.com

Facebook - we have a Facebook page where you can keep up to date with all events and meetings, please give us a like at Broomgrove Schools Association

Instagram - we have recently created an account on Instagram. The account will give notice for all our events but will also celebrate the work done by the BSA. Follow us at broomgroveschools

What do we do?

It costs at least £6000 to keep the pool running each year, so we cannot possibly achieve this without your help and support.

Traditionally, every academic year, we organise three main events:

• Boomgrove Fireworks Night (on the Friday closest to 5th November) to which the whole community are invited.
• Easter Egg Hunt
• Summer Fair (on the first Friday in July

We also fundraise across the year and these events include:

• clothes/textiles collections
• second-hand uniform sales
• cake bake sales
• quizzes
• design your own Christmas cards

Our fundraising has been affected in 2020 due to the onset of the pandemic but we are determined to make the most of online forums, home and community based events in 2021

How can you help us?

Our aim for 2021 is to show our support to all families in these extremely difficult days, to bring  a little bit of excitement to your days and to help build the community feel that we will all benefit from, especially when physical connection is so restricted.
