All parents automatically become members of the School Association when their child joins the School.

The Association has three main aims:

·          To raise funds for the School

·          To provide a social opportunity for staff, parents and students to meet

·          To provide opportunities for consultation with parents over School issues

We are a friendly and informal but very effective team who meet regularly to support the work of the school.  The School Association hold an annual welcome evening for parents new to JRCS during the first half term of the academic year, an annual Quiz Night which raises funds to support the Year 11 Summer Prom and are available at New Intake Evening to offer information, support and advice to Year 6 parents.
