A very warm welcome from The Friends of LEH, the school’s parent association. As soon as your daughter joins LEH, you automatically become a member of the Friends and part of our wonderful community.

Our aim is to enhance our daughters’ educational experience and to support and promote a vibrant community by running various social and fundraising events throughout the year.

All information about the Friends, how we support the school, events and how you can get involved can be found on our website.

You can also get in touch with us at: FriendsOfLEHChair@lehs.org.uk – we’d love to hear from you.

Join us and get involved

The Friends is run by a Council, a group of up to 24 members, including 19 parent volunteers as well as school representatives. We meet termly to discuss ideas and projects as well as plan events.

The Council is extremely fortunate to be assisted by a network of class reps from each year group who support and promote our events. In addition, by engaging with their fellow parents through informal get-togethers, including coffee mornings, evenings out and end of term parties, class reps strengthen our sense of community.

We hope you will join us and become part of our thriving community. There are so many ways to be involved so please share your ideas, attend our events, consider becoming a class rep or joining the Council. We look forward to hearing from you and welcome your participation.

Connecting With Other Parents

Your class reps will be in touch to arrange a parent What’s App group where they will provide updates on things like second hand uniform sales and upcoming Friends events – as well as sharing key information and reminders about what is going on at school.

The Friends of LEH is also on Classlist which connects you to our school community. The app is especially designed for parents to make it easy to communicate with other parents, help each other and stay in the loop with what’s going on at your school. The Friends of LEH post details on here of upcoming events and other school information. Sign up to stay in the loop by registering for an account and selecting ‘Friends of Lady Eleanor Holles School’ when asked for your school name.

Your class representative will also be in touch to arrange a parent What’s App group where they will provide updates on things like second hand uniform sales and upcoming Friends events – as well as sharing key information and reminders about what is going on at school.

The Friends host a wide variety of events during the year which have the dual purpose of bringing the school community together to have fun and also to raise money for The Friends Charity Fund.
