SPA

Welcome to the Stowe Parents’ Association web page!

Stowe Parents’ Association – SPA – exists to enhance parents’ experiences at Stowe by providing a social community and practical information resource that enables parents to integrate through events and other activities.

SPA has now provided a number of social events over the last year and we would ask you to click here to take a brief look at exactly what has been provided.
We have enjoyed bringing these events to you and hope that you will come along to our new events throughout next year. Please do let us know if you have any ideas and in the meantime save the following dates:

 

Created at the start of the 2008/09 school year, SPA has already established itself as a part of school life with a range of events both produced and planned. These include:
  • 19th June 2010 - Stowe Gardens Tour led by the Headmaster followed by Lunch.  Click here for further details and booking form.
  • 25th June 2010 - Junior Congreve Drama Production and pre-performance buffet.  Click here for further details and booking form.

 Journey Breakers

A difficult journey, through heavy traffic and British weather, with a quick turnaround and a repeat performance on the way home? If that sounds like your experience of collecting your son or daughter each exeat, half-term and term end, allow us to introduce you to the SPA Journey Breaker. Held in the North Front Cricket Pavilion, SPA Journey Breakers allow parents time to relax and refresh while awaiting their Stoic. It’s a great opportunity to meet other parents and can already claim car-sharing success among parents doing similar journeys.

Third and Fourth Form Parents Lunch

A group of some 60 3rd and 4th form parents gathered for our very first Parents lunch at the The University Women’s Club, Audley Square, London in mid October. Although attendees did not initially know each other, it was not very long before the ice was broken and parents chatted happily to each other. Many worthwhile connections were made and a thoroughly enjoyable lunch was had by all.

Remembrance Sunday

Parents that attened this event had the opportunity to listen to an outstanding Choral concert featuring Faure's requiem in the chapel. They then went over to the Music Room for a candlit supper and enjoyed meeting each other finding connections through their children.

VIP Shopping at Bicester Village

Retail therapy bargains are more welcome than ever in these challenging times, so if you like to shop in style, join SPA for a twice-yearly visit to Bicester Retail Village. The day starts with a champagne breakfast and tips from a tame style guru and includes exclusive use of a VIP lounge to store your purchases and at Christmas, a gift wrapping service. .

It’s your SPA

All Stowe parents are automatically members of SPA and the Committee, which comprises parents from a cross section of years and houses, is always happy to hear from others with ideas for events or who would like to be more involved.
