parents’ organisation at The Oratory Prep School. Founded in 1994, their vision is to foster The OPS community by welcoming new families and creating events within the school year to enhance the OPS experience for all pupils, parents, teachers and staff.</p> <p dir="ltr">Some of the highlights of the school year include:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Bonfire Night celebrations with an amazing fireworks display (November)</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Christmas Fair with the famous Santa’s Grotto & Christmas Trail (December)</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Summer Fete (May)</li> <li dir="ltr" role="presentation">Parents Summer Ball (not to be missed!)</li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">The events not only enhance the school community, but also have a fundraising element for both local charities and to provide additional facilities for the school, which would not otherwise be affordable. These additional purchases are not traditional school investments, but fun “extras”.</p> <h2 dir="ltr">Our FOPS Committee</h2> <p dir="ltr">FOPS is made up of an enthusiastic volunteer committee and works closely with the school and administration. Communications are often distributed through year group parent representatives as well as the communications team of FOPS.</p> <p dir="ltr">To contact our FOPS Committee, please email <a href="mailto:fops@oratoryprep.co.uk">fops@oratoryprep.co.uk</a></p> </div> </div> <section class="dynamicContent Dynamic dynamic-staff "> <div class="staff"> <div class="standard-staff-member staffMember"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <h3 class="standard-staff-name"> Emily Calvocoressi </h3> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="standard-staff-image col-sm-auto col-3"> <img width="150" height="150" src="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Emily-C-photo-1-150x150.jpg" class="attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Emily C" decoding="async" srcset="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Emily-C-photo-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Emily-C-photo-1-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /> </div> <div class="standard-staff-text col "> <div class="standard-staff-metas staff-meta row"> <div class="staff-meta col"> <div class="meta-label">Position:</div> <div class="meta-value"> Chair and Mum to Roy (Year 2)</div> </div> </div> <div class="staff-biog"> <p>My background is in design and luxury retail but currently working as a part time PA.
