Introduction to Guildford Grammar Preparatory School
Parent Groups Parent Checklist
The main parent body of the School is the Parents and Friends’
Society which holds regular meetings to which parents are
cordially invited. Subsidiary bodies exist to help particular areas of
the School. Details of these groups can be found on the School
website. Before each term begins, please ensure all of the following
criteria are checked off as follows:
The Friends of the Preparatory School (FOPS) is the auxiliary
body concerned with the Preparatory School. FOPS provides
opportunities for parents to meet and integrate into the school
community. Details of meetings and events are advertised in the
weekly newsletter The Bulletin. It is hoped that all parents will
join in the activities of FOPS as this way everyone can share in the
life of Guildford Grammar School.
Each class has one or two parents who volunteer their time to be
Liaison Parents (LP). Liaison Parents are a very valued group of
people within the School.
The main role of a Liaison Parent is to assist new families in
their transition into the Guildford Grammar Preparatory School
community. The Liaison Parent may also arrange social functions
for parents. New families will find Liaison Parents a great source
of information and support.
