What is the CSA?
Our amazing Carlisle School Association (CSA) helps to contribute to the school's fundraising efforts whilst also bringing the School Community together.
As a parent/carer of a child at our school you are automatically a member of the CSA, and we’d love to involve all of you in the events and activities we run. These include things such as our annual Fireworks Display, Christmas activities and Summer Fair, as well as regular second hand uniform sales, and parent/carer social events. Each year our funds help to support our children’s activities and resources at school - in 2022-23 we raised over £19,000, some of which was used to create our wonderful new Outdoor Classroom. Previously items such as the school's playground equipment and IT equipment have also been funded through The CSA.
The CSA committee for 2024-25 is made up of the following volunteer parents - so please come and say hello if you spot us around school, or get in touch if you'd like to join us!
Chair - Louise Bloom : Secretary - Emma Waight : Treasurer - Andy Brooman
Trustees : Alex Powley & Charlotte Brown & Volunteers: Kirsty Hollingsworth, Alex Quennell & Cecelia Cheng
The CSA is more than just this team, and can only achieve fundraising and community activities with the help of all of our school families and members.
