Shiplake College

The Shiplake College Parents' Association was founded in 2009 to enable parents from across the school to meet socially.

• So far this year the Parents’ Association has had another brilliant year with lots of events and support from parents.
• The Summer Ball was a fantastic evening with around 170 guests attending. As ever, Thomas Franks produced superb food and there was an amazing band which kept the dance floor full from the first note to the last. The money tree and silent auction worked well and resulted in the Parents’ Association donating £2000 to the Kumali Mission Hospital in Uganda on behalf of all parents.
• Sadly the summer BBQ, which for the last three years has been a huge success had to be cancelled due to bad weather but look out for the 2013 date.
• Welcome cream teas were held for all new parents in September and were well attended
• The Headmaster’s Quiz night had an Olympic theme  this year and was  a sell out. The vast majority of people wore red white and blue and a great night was had by one and all.
• The Christmas Fayre proved another success for both stall holders and Christmas shoppers. Most of the stall holders have already asked if they can come back next year and a few asked if we would think about a Spring fayre!
