Parents' Association
Aims of the KESPA
The King Edward's School Parents' Association (KESPA) aims to facilitate social links and to help develop effective relationships between the parents, the staff and others associated with King Edward's School. We also engage in activities which support the School and advance the education of the pupils, including the provision of annual grants towards Gap Year and Sixth Form Travel.
All parents of pupils at the School automatically become Members of KESPA unless they specifically choose otherwise and a one-off subscription is collected with the school fee.
We have a committee, chaired by the Chief Master, made up of volunteers from the parents and staff, who give their time to organize and plan activities with the active support of the Chief Master, teaching and ancillary staff. The Committee organises a number of events during the year which provide an important opportunity for parents to meet each other socially.

How parents can get involved
The Parents' Association loses active Members each year as their children leave the School and we would welcome new Members to help with events or to join the Committee.
Please do come along to any of our events. If you would like to help with events, offer support at Open Mornings, join the Committee or have any other queries then please contact us.
