Friends of the School
We are a registered charity (1147277) powered by a dedicated team of volunteer parents who work alongside teachers and pupils to enrich school life.
Through festive fairs, family events and fundraising activities throughout the year, we raise money to provide additional opportunities, experiences and resources that make a real difference to the children.
The Friends group is about more than fundraising. We help bring the school community together, creating opportunities for families to connect, share ideas and support the school while organising enjoyable events for everyone.
Our Fundraising
The support we receive from families, friends and local businesses helps us provide enriching experiences and valuable resources that enhance learning beyond the everyday school budget.
Over the years, fundraising has supported a wide range of projects, including improvements to the school’s sensory room, new reading resources across all year groups, educational visits, theatre trips and additional history materials. Alongside grant funding and generous business sponsorship, we have also helped provide three new Key Stage 2 sports kits.
A key priority for the school is developing outdoor learning opportunities. Through regular sessions with Forest School Teacher, Mrs Simons, pupils enjoy hands-on experiences that build confidence, encourage teamwork, nurture environmental awareness and develop practical life skills.
Building on successful projects such as the outdoor classroom and gym equipment, future fundraising aims to further enhance outdoor spaces with nature-based resources and outdoor musical instruments, while continuing to expand and refresh reading materials for children of all ages.
Together, these projects help create an inspiring, creative and supportive environment where every child can thrive.
Events
Throughout the school year, we organise a variety of events that bring children, families and staff together while raising funds for the school. Popular events include discos, movie nights, themed celebrations, raffles, non-uniform days and second-hand uniform sales.
The highlight of the year is our Summer Fair — a fun-filled afternoon of games, entertainment, refreshments and activities for all ages. It is a wonderful opportunity for families and friends to come together and celebrate our school community.
How You Can Help
We are always delighted to welcome new volunteers and fresh ideas. Whether you can spare an hour at an event, help behind the scenes, donate prizes or simply support our activities, every contribution is valued.
Getting involved is a rewarding way to meet other parents, support the school and help create memorable experiences for the children.
If you would like to help in any way, please leave your details with the school office.
Thank you for supporting our events and helping us continue to make our school a fun, welcoming and inspiring place for every child.
