Sadly, now that ‘Freedom Day’ has been further postponed, our JRSA BBQ cannot happen on 2 July. HOWEVER, you could still win one of 12 prizes of £5,000.
Raffle tickets are only £3 and it only takes one ticket to win!
Pass it on to friends and family, it really is very easy to enter, just go to www.bigptaraffle.co.uk and search for The John Roan School to buy your tickets.
We raised an amazing £500 from the Christmas one in 2020, as for every £3.00 raffle ticket purchased we get 50% of that amount.
The JRSA Parent-Teacher Association
Welcome to the JRSA, the friendly John Roan School Association.
We meet every term to provide an essential link between parents/carers and the school. The meetings are relaxed, social and informative. We discuss issues relating to the school, fundraising ideas and upcoming social events. The Headteacher attends and provides a Headteacher’s report on life at the school.
Over the last few years, we have been able to give different departments and areas of the school some support with funding which has been raised through the JRSA. This has included new equipment for The Hope Memorial Trust at Braithwaite, as well as the Geography, Science, Design and Technology, Art, PE and Music Departments.
Throughout the year, we hold quiz nights, a Summer BBQ, support concerts organised by the Music Department and provide refreshments and a friendly face at Parent and Open Evenings.
Come along to the next meeting for a chat and a coffee.
Everyone welcome!
