Take a look at our latest newsletter here

Cheadle Hulme School enjoys the support of a vibrant and active Parents’ Association (CHSPA) which all parents are invited to join. A dedicated committee organises fundraising events throughout the year, ranging from a popular Christmas Fair to discos, film nights, Dinner Dances and ‘Bags2School’ collections. As well as running their own events, they support many School-organised events by providing much enjoyed refreshments.

The CHSPA raise funds for additional items outside of the School budget. Over the past few years, the amount raised is in excess of £250,000, which has been put to good use for the benefit of the whole School community. 

Gifts purchased have ranged from providing additional musical and sporting equipment for School, funding a new minibus, £500 sponsorship for the F1in Schools team, new team sports kits, new equipment for After school and Morning clubs in Junior school, new dugouts for Astro pitches and more recently, state of the art HIPOD and VEDEO cameras, specialist sports cameras currently being put to good use by our sports coaches.

CHSPA only succeeds because of the support from the school, teachers and parents who volunteer or give up their time and support the events. It also provides a wonderful opportunity to make new friendships, meet other parents and have some fun whilst raising valuable funds for all the children. They hold approximately four meetings per year which all parents are welcome to attend and are encouraged to get involved in, as little or as much as they’d like.

To volunteer, make a donation, or to find out more about CHSPA, please contact carolineflynn2@gmail.com.

CHSPA 500 Club 

Were you aware that CHSPA run a small society lottery known as “The 500 Club” to raise funds for the benefit of the whole School? 

For an annual charge of £24, a subscriber is allocated a numbered ball which is entered into a draw with a winning prize of £100.  You may subscribe for one or two balls.  There are currently a minimum of 12 prize draws each year (with up to 3 additional bonus draws depending on the funds available).

The 500 Club is open to all current and former parents, relatives and/or guardians of children of Cheadle Hulme School, to members of staff and the Governing Body and also former pupils.  All members must be at least 16 years of age.  

The grand draw for the 2023/24 membership year recently took place and a list of winners can be found below. 

If you are already a member, CHSPA would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.  We really appreciate the regular income we receive from the 500 Club Prize Draw.  A modest contribution from many parents really does make a difference.
