Socials

Open Morning

Members of the SPF attended the school Open Morning, and supported teachers and pupils in welcoming prospective pupils and parents to Prior Park College.

Lower 3 coffee morning

On Saturday 17th November, a successful coffee morning was held at the Sports Pavilion. Thanks to Margaret Hill and Gail Aston for organising it.

Form 3 Christmas Meal

On Wednesday 5th December, a group of Form 3 parents ventured out to celebrate Christmas early at the Bathampton Mill. Thanks to Jill Campbell and Lynette Booley for organising it.

Wine & Pudds

The school concert was a musical feast for the soul.

So what better than to round off the evening with jazz in the gym with a glass of mulled wine and mince pie? Well, many of us tucked into scrummy puddings too, just to get us into practice for the Christmas over indulgence ahead.

Thanks to everyone who contributed a pudd and helped us raise around £200.

Firework Spectacular

A sparkling firework display delighted the assembled crowds of parents and pupils as they watched the night sky fill with colour, crackles and bangs above the Capability Brown gardens and across Bath.

Thanks to Dennis Clarke and his team for such a spectacular display and to Martin Beech for cooking one of his famous hog roasts. A further £315 was raised from the evening.

This was the first year that this event was extended to the whole school. Make sure you don't miss it next year.

Bangers, mash and Miles Kington

Only the best would do for this entertaining evening. Delicious varieties of sizzling sausages were served with assorted flavours of mash - from garlic to exotic cheesy ones. And the Academy Hall was just the perfect setting too.

Miles Kington, raconteur, journalist and parent delighted us with his amusing tales. Thank you Miles.

We raised a staggering £300.

Summer Fete

The Summer Fete is the SPF's major fundraiser of the year.

This year's fete was a musical extravaganza. Some of our very talented offspring played their kind of music in the Old Gym; The Big Band played on the grass during the afternoon and Bath FM were in attendance playing music, taking requests to play during the week and generally helping the afternoon go with a swing.

There were the usual stalls plus some new ones - Coconut Shy, Hoopla, Bottle Tombola, Bouncy Castle, Gladiators, Cake Stall, Plants, Candy Floss…….the list goes on and on.

For the first time we had a Table Top Sale where people sold their own things - books, games, etc. etc.

Food and drink was be on offer all afternoon - A Hog Roast, Jacket potatoes with a variety of stuffings, teas, cakes, Pimms, beer, soft drinks.

Italian Supper report
Pasta and Puccini...

If you didn't come you missed a great evening, with well over 80 people attending Pasta and Puccini, a great time was had by all.

Some beautifully tasty olives, bruschetta and crostini were followed by pasta and a range of sauces. Then there were puddings, cheese and coffe. All this was accompanied by excellent Italian wines on sale at the bar.

A fiendish table quiz of nearly fifty questions [if you're interested you can find the quiz here and the answers here] was followed by a game of heads and tails that that got the competitive and monetary juices flowing and also raised a great deal for SPF funds.


If you would like to see a special theme evening - Australian? Thai? Spanish? American? - then contact a member of the SPF Committee or use the comments form. And now for.................
