The PPA is run by a committee of volunteers, supported by the parent class representatives in each year. Together we arrange social events and charity fundraisers.

The class reps are often your first point of contact when you join Pilgrims’. They will introduce you to your class group and are an invaluable source of advice on practically everything.  Where do you sew on those name tapes? How do I find the school shop? They will be able to help and have been more useful than ever during the periods of lockdown over the last year or so. 

We have run a mix of face-to-face and virtual social events and we have had successful collections for the Winchester Basics Bank and have raised hundreds of pounds for the BBC's Children in Need appeal. 

The PPA’s main aim is to run social events for the school.  Any money raised benefits the school and the boys, as well as outside charities. 

Previous PPA events include spectacular firework displays in our historic grounds, quizzes, summer fêtes, sponsored walks, the School of Rock music festival, regular coffee mornings and evening drinks.
