Charitable Connection

Park School is notable in that in 1983 it received a donation of a minibus, raised from funds from a golf match. The organisers of this golf match were English rugby supporters who had watched England win the Wooden Spoon in the 1983 Five Nations Championship. They went on to found the Wooden Spoon Society which in 2007 is now a major charity in the UK and Ireland, raising funds for disadvantaged children and young people.
