The Hazel Court School ‘Parents & Staff Association’ (known as the PSA) was formed in 1986 with the aim of fostering good relationships between the parents / carers and the staff, and raising funds to buy equipment and to fund activities not normally provided by the County Council.

All parents / carers who have a child at the school are automatically members of the PSA. Participation in meetings and at events is, of course, entirely voluntary.

Over the years, the PSA has held many events and has been very successful in its activities. These have included holding fund raising activities, social occasions, bar-b-q’s, jumble sales, fetes, coffee mornings, and so on.



The PSA raised funds to expand the physiotherapy provision at the school over a number of years, and more recently the PSA ran the Water Wing Appeal, helping to raise more than £350,000 to replace an old hydrotherapy pool with our superb new and modern pool which includes all the latest pupil operated sensory equipment.

The PSA also acts as a source of information for parents / carers and professionals, and holds open meetings on a variety of subjects. The PSA meetings also offer a forum for the discussion of ideas and any concerns, providing a direct voice to the Governors and the school management on behalf of parents / carers and staff. Offers of help and assistance are always very welcome.
