Junior School Parents' Association
Welcome to the Rendcomb College Junior School Parents’ Association. The Parents’ Association or RCJPA aims to foster, support and advance the education and well-being of the Junior School pupils and the good future of the school.
The Parents’ Association Committee meets four times per year and acts as a consultative body interfacing between parents and the school. It includes a Social Team that organises social events for parents, pupils and staff. Funds raised are used for purchasing special school equipment and for children focused charities.
