Orleans Park Friends

We would like to extend a warm welcome to Orleans Park Friends (OPF), the Parent-Teacher Association of Orleans Park School.

We create opportunities for all parents, carers, teachers and pupils to come together as well as raise funds for the school to enrich our children's lives during their time at Orleans Park.

Our biggest annual events are the school Fireworks Display (November) and St Margaret's Fair at Moormead Park (July). These are extremely popular community events as well as significant fundraisers for our school, and we partner with many local businesses and schools to make them such uplifting experiences. Last year, we also hosted a "Curry & Quiz Night" in November.  Alongside these big community events we also run second hand uniform sales throughout the school year.

We also take advantage of our proximity to RFU's Twickenham Stadium in providing Rugby Parking to paying visitors at weekends on major match days.

In recent years the funds raised via OPF events have purchased a new school minibus and rowing machines, a new grand piano, established a school newsroom and news report team, facilitated extracurricular trips and events for students. OPF have also substantially contributed to refurbishing particular areas of the school such as the new Astro pitch, a recording studio for the Music Department and a sprung floor for the Drama Studio. 

How can you support us?

We thrive because of the collaborative energy of families and teachers working together to create fun events and raise vital funds. All families and teachers are welcome to attend our meetings and there are many ways, big and small, to get involved. Currently, our joint Chairs are Sandra Laville, Myrto Williams and Nicola Butler and our Treasurer is Joanna Henry. Rugby parking is led by James Gilbert-Farrell, the St.Margarets Fair by Nicola Butler, and the Second Hand Uniform team by Rebecca Farr.

We are always open to new ideas and especially volunteers to get involved. Come and join one of our meetings to find out more. Meeting dates are advertised via school WhatsApp groups and on the school website.

Second Hand Uniform

The OPF uniform team sell donations of second hand uniform with the Orleans Park logo, to raise funds for the school. Sales are held at the school on the Friday of the first full week of each half term, after school hours from 3pm, as well as at Open Events.

If you would like to request uniform items, or help us by volunteering, please email the team at uniform.opsa@gmail.com.

Donations of good quality, clean uniform items with the Orleans Park logo can be left at the Main Reception during school hours, labelled as donations. 

Due to lack of space, we cannot accept grey trousers or white shirts as these are not logo items.

We also welcome new volunteers to join us to help sort or sell donated uniform. Click the link below to email the uniform team.
