PATCH (Parents’ and Teachers’ Association of Chandlings) was formed by a group of enthusiastic parents and teachers to promote a sense of community and belonging amongst everyone involved in life at Chandlings Prep.

They aim to support the school and help families make the most of their time here, primarily by organising events for parents and children. All parents, guardians and staff members are automatically members of PATCH. We take particular care to welcome new parents to the school, and aim to have a representative from each form to organise informal get-togethers and to be a voice on the PATCH committee.

Social events organised by PATCH take place every term. These include Coffee Mornings Discos, Movie Nights, Gifts4Grownups, Family Picnics, Ice Cream Sales, Hot Choc Sales, PATCH Festival Fun Run, Carols Round the Piano, Christmas Bazaars, Quiz Evenings, Summer Balls and many other events for parents and their children.

The PATCH committee is made up of a group of form representatives and the following officers:-

Chair – Emma Bott

Vice Chair – Jane Davis

Secretary – Natasha Sheppard

Treasurer- Richa Sachdev

International Rep – Abi Miles-Conlon

New Parent Rep – Catherine Pyke

Charities Rep – Stacey Birney

Committee Members – Annie Broadhurst, Sophie Maton, Rebecca Turner and Catherine Wilde

Teachers’ Reps – Fiona Love and Phillipa Biggs
