Eldwick School Association - ESA
We have a successful parents' association called Eldwick School Association (ESA), which organises a wide range of fund-raising events, to provide extra support for the school. The ESA have provided financial help for school ipads, theatre trips, playground equipment, classroom resources and more.
Families of children in school are automatically members of the ESA and we ask you to pledge two hours of your time to help the ESA over the school year. There are many practical ways you can offer your support, so please get involved. It’s also a great way to meet other parents and carers and there are lots of social opportunities for all the family.
The ESA is a registered Charity; No 1164071.

Events and Activities

- Children's School Discos
- Summer and Christmas Fairs
- Cakes for the Weekend bake sales
- Quiz Nights
- and more
Does your employer match funds raised for charities? Can you help out on a stall and the amount raised be matched? Are you allowed time from work to help charities e.g. taking time off to help set up events. Are you able to donate raffle prizes for our events?
How You Can Help
When your child starts at Eldwick Primary School, parents and carers automatically become members of the ESA. You can support your team by helping out at an event, attending ESA meetings or fundraising for the ESA.
