Bishop Lovett Association

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED

WHAT IS THE BLA?

The ‘BLA’ is a parental body.  Whilst many schools have PTA’s (Parent Teacher Associations), Bishop Lovett has chosen to have the ‘BLA’.  The ‘BLA or Bishop Lovett Association’ extends beyond just parents and teachers and includes past  pupils and their parents, and other members of our parish.

HOW DO YOU JOIN THE BLA?

By the virtue of having a child attending the school, you are automatically a member. 

WHAT DOES THE BLA DO?

The main aim of the BLA is to support and promote the ethos of our school, as well as, support the Head Teacher and Staff by raising funds to improve resources and the school environment.  Annually we have a Summer and Christmas Fayre.   These events are our main fund raisers of the Year and in the April of 2004 we raised sufficient funds for a new school minibus (Click HERE fro more information.)  Throughout the year with sufficient parental assistance we would also like to arrange Car Boot Sales, Quiz Nights, Race Nights, Family Discos, Fashion Shows  and possibly other social events such as  family Summer Parties / Barbeques or  possibly a Fireworks display.

BLA MEETINGS - WHO CAN ATTEND?

Any parents can attend the meetings! You will receive notification of BLA meetings in advance via the Mitre. They are usually held at least once a term and often on a Tuesday evening at around 7.00pm in the school. It is a popular misconception that only the elected committee members may attend, this is not the case. Please feel free to come along otherwise you’ll never know what you’re missing.  The meetings give everyone an opportunity to air their views and offer suggestions. Our meetings are informal, the atmosphere is light hearted with an emphasis on making the school an even better place for our children.
