The STSA is an association of parents, grandparents, staff, governors and friends of Shocklach School, which exists to further good relationships between its members, the wider village community and St Edith’s church in Shocklach. A registered charity, its primary functions are to provide a friendly support network for our rural school community and to raise funds for ‘the icing on the cake’ for our children: often costly items, over and above that which the school provides, e.g. play equipment, technological items, coaches for school trips.

We are exceptionally fortunate to have so many dedicated, creative supporters who work extremely hard to make our fundraising efforts as successful as possible and also fun for all the family. The STSA is a very special organisation indeed, and one that is valued by all as an integral part of school life. If you are a parent, grandparent, governor or staff member, then you are automatically a member of the STSA and we’d like to meet you! We have half-termly meetings to which everyone is invited and all input is greatly appreciated.

As well as our many fundraising activities, we also organise social events.
