St Ambrose Parents' Association

Welcome to the St Ambrose Parents Association Website.  We support the boys attending both St Ambrose College and St Ambrose Prep School and are made up of a mixture of parents from both schools.

We meet once a month in the St Ambrose College Library on a Monday evening at 8pm.  Please check our calendar for exact dates.

Over the years of its existence, SAPA has made over £400,000 of gifts to the schools (including paying for two of the minibuses still used regularly by the schools). Many parents work very hard to organise the events and it is of course you, the boys' parents, who are to be congratulated for all the support you provide throughout the years. Please continue to support SAPA's events and don't forget that SAPA will welcome any parent who wishes to join the committee and help out. Besides the hourly monthly meetings you would be expected to help with arranging events. It's not too onerous and we do have a lot of fun.

Our next functions are:

24th February - Pamper Evening

11th March - Car Boot Sale

30th March - Quiz Night

Please try to attend the committee meeting in the College library at 8pm on Monday 20th February. The agenda includes discussion of the Pamper Evening, Summer Ball, Car Boot sale, and other fundraising ideas.

A car boot sale will take place on Sunday March 11th on the college car parks. Cars £10 each, on a first come, first served basis (no bookings) from 06:00. Gates open for buyers at 07:00.

We're also looking for help from those of you with children at the college and prep, to help with marshalling the cars, manning the entrance, and in the kitchen. If you can help (and particularly if you are willing to get out of bed at the crack of dawn to help open up!) please get in touch - email  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Please can you forwards any suggestions for events that you would like to see SAPA organise?

They do not need necessarily to be  just fundraising, they could be social, networking, anything you think that will help the ethos and Catholic ideals of the Prep School and College.
