Limpsfield School Association (LSA)

What is the LSA?

The Limpsfield School Association (LSA) is a community of parents and carers who come together to organise a variety of events and initiatives, all on a voluntary basis. Our goal is to raise funds that enhance the school environment, providing exciting enrichment opportunities and improved facilities while fostering a sense of connection and fun for both parents and children.

The LSA is led by a dedicated central committee, consisting of three officers:

• Laura Eagar (Chair)

• Laura Bashar (Secretary)

• Kirsten Evans (Treasurer)

They are supported by a fantastic team of ordinary committee members, including Nicola Tickler, Laura Buckham, Kamila Markusova, Milica Jeremic, Claire Heijmer, Aleah Basu, and Nigel Evans, all of whom are sworn in until September 2025.

Our support for the school extends beyond fundraising. We help run library sessions for students, organise second-hand uniform sales, and coordinate a parent taskforce to maintain the school grounds and playground when needed. We also manage the Walking Bus, ensuring children can safely walk into school—an invaluable service for families juggling multiple drop-offs in the morning!

To raise funds, we host a variety of events and initiatives, including sponsored activities, parent socials, cake sales, hamper raffles, Christmas and Summer fairs, and advertising opportunities in our newsletter. We’re always open to fresh ideas and new ways to support our school community.

If you’d like to get involved, suggest a fundraising idea, or learn more, we’d love to hear from you!

Become a Class Rep
Class WhatsApp Groups
Class Reps are not official LSA members, but they play a key role in supporting our events and activities. By attending some committee meetings, Class Reps help keep parents informed about upcoming events and coordinate volunteers from their class.

Class Rep responsibilities may include:

• Communication – While it is each parent's responsibility to stay updated with school communications, some reps find it helpful to send weekly WhatsApp reminders with key dates, donation requests, and volunteer opportunities. This can be done by one person or shared among reps. Keeping it to a weekly message ensures everyone stays informed without feeling overwhelmed.

• Volunteering – Throughout the year, we rely on extra volunteers to help with various events and activities. Class Reps can use their WhatsApp group to encourage parents to get involved and can also direct them to the LSA volunteers' WhatsApp group. (The school handles volunteer coordination for school-time activities, such as church walkers.)

• Socials – Many classes start the year with a parent get-together and often arrange social events for both parents and children throughout the year. There are no set rules—you're free to organise whatever works for your class!

Volunteering - Helping out can be as simple as supporting a library session, helping with our pop-up gift shop, baking a cake, manning a bar, or assisting at a children's disco! Whatever your skills or availability, there’s a way for you to contribute. Speak to your Class Rep to learn how you can support the LSA as an active member. It’s also a fantastic way to meet other parents and be part of the school community!

Join Us at the AGM!
We warmly invite all parents to attend our LSA Annual General Meeting (AGM) in September (the date is shared by the school nearer the time). This is a great opportunity to learn more about what we do and how you can get involved—hope to see you there!

How do the LSA Funds Support the School?

engaging learning experiences by funding an annual pantomime for the whole school
early years enrichment by sponsoring chicks and ducks for Reception classes
wellbeing and personal development opportunitiesby funding the annual Life Bus experience
seasonal gifts by providing Christmas and Easter gifts for the children
creative and practical resources by purchasing producing yearbooks
reading spaces by creating inviting reading areas to foster a love of books

Past Funding Achievements
Thanks to the generosity of our school community, the LSA has successfully contributed to several major projects, including:

Helping to fund a brand-new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths) room
Contributing to the Trim Trail on the Common, a much-loved outdoor feature (partially funded by The National Lottery) that provides a fantastic play space for the children
Updating and enhancing the school’s library by redesigning/redecorating it and purchasing new books
Funding new Chromebooks to enhance digital learning
Providing new playground equipment for both the Reception and main playgrounds

Every contribution, big or small, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for your support!
