Surrey Hills School has a very dedicated and proactive Parent Teacher Association, 'Friends At Surrey Hills'  (F@SH), which is a registered charity, which organizes fundraising events and activities. These not only raise vital funds to support the school and advance the extra-curricular and cultural development of our children whilst at our school but is also a fun opportunity for the parents, teachers and friends of the school to get together and get to know each other during fun and sociable evenings, and all for a good cause.

 We understand that not all parents can commit their valuable time to helping F@SH, and the option of making a small monthly donation to the charity is an effective way to support us if your free-time is sparse.

Remember every penny raised and donated supports the school by way of funding travel, purchasing equipment, providing art, music and cultural days and trips, and enhances your child’s experience whilst at Surrey Hills School.

We welcome any suggestions for fundraising events please email us here
with any suggestions or questions you may have.

** HOW WE UTILISE THE FUNDS **

Throughout the coming year we will update this section so you know how all of your much appreciated hard work and support benefits the school. Typically funds are used for paying for travel for school trips (very expensive), purchasing electronic equipment (for example: audio equipment), music art and cultural visits and workshops, outside play/development equipment and interactive garden features and other aspects that the school budget can not cover but makes a real difference to our children's experience at Surrey Hill School and gives them very fond a fun memories of their first school years here.
