Supporters of Carrington School (SOCS) is a vibrant and growing organisation which enables parents and carers to become involved in the life of the school; joining together to organise social events, fund raising activities, and supporting the education of our young people in a practical way where we can.

Last summer we were excited to fund the purchase and installation of two new basketball hoops for students to use in their PE lessons, and also during break times. Previously we have raised funds for the school minibus, along with many other enrichment items.

Last year we raised an outstanding £860 with our raffle, all of which was used to enhance school life for our young people. 

Scholastic Book Party

One of our Year 7 parents has organised a Scholastic Book Party. There are some great fiction, non-fiction and GCSE revision guides for all ages at discounted prices. You can choose to have books delivered to home or group delivery to collect from school after 14 November. The best part is that SOCS will receive 10% of all sales so it’s great for everyone. Why not get ahead and get some Christmas shopping done early!

You can access the Party here: https://book-parties.scholastic.co.uk/party/Carrington

SOCS Quiz

Our annual quiz is back - save the date Friday 6 March. More details to follow.

Uncorking the Truth!

At our very first 'Whose Wine is it Anyway' quiz, guests enjoyed six rounds of wine tasting, with each round featuring a panel of three wine "experts" who described the wine in front of them. The twist? Only one was telling the truth, and the others were bluffing with impressive confidence! There were plenty of laughs, some surprisingly convincing fibs from the panel, and lots of support for a great cause - raising £178.22!
