Friends of Hanover (our Parent Teacher Association)
The Hanover School Association (HSA) was set up by parents and teachers at Hanover school in 1995. It is a registered charity. All parents, carers, friends and members of Hanover staff are automatically members of the HSA. All are welcome to our events.
What does the Friends of Hanover do?
In a typical year, we raise around £20,000 which goes towards the purchase of equipment and teaching resources that benefit the children at Hanover Primary School and supports their growth and development at school.
There are also annual events which the Friends of Hanover regularly funds – some help for Father Christmas, Easter eggs and the (whole) school Christmas pantomime/cinema trip.
We run a wide range of social events during the school year which are well attended and bring the school community together.
These have recently included a Summer Fair and an Autumn International Celebration. Popular events also include our regular class cake sales and the annual Sponsored Bounce!

Many hands makes light work
We are always looking for extra helpers! If you can spare half an hour, an hour or more – we’d appreciate it. Work from home, or meet us at school. We always need extra hands to help prepare before an event, help out on a stall and/or afterwards with the clean up.
We look forward to your support, ideas, skills and time.
Do get in touch!
Thanks,
The Friends of Hanover Team
