Ursuline Parents' Association
It's harder to meet other parents at secondary school but by coming along to UPA events you'll get to know other people and feel more involved in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
Helping and Joining the UPA
Our fundraising through events such as: Quiz Nights, School Performances, the Carol Service, Doughnut Day, Nearly New Uniform Sales among others have enabled the school to purchase their minibus, sound system, books for the school library, curtains, desks, outdoor seating areas and much more.
We're always in need of a helping hand!
We need more willing volunteers so please let us know if you are interested by contacting us on our email.
We also need to collect items which can be used to generate money by way of raffle tickets. If you, or your company, are able to donate any form of gift, voucher or ticket of entry in to places of interest or events, please contact us on: UPA@ursulinehigh.merton.sch.uk
Thank you.
