Friends
Friends play a key role in the life of our school. We raise important funds to enrich and enhance the learning and education of the children at school. We also engage in activities that promote the social cohesion of the broader school family and local community.
How Friends works
People can join the Friends Committee at the AGM held each year in the summer term, to which all parents are invited. We hold one meeting per half term which is minuted and there are planning meetings inbetween to organise specific events.
Who's on the Committee?
We are a small, friendly committee that consists of the following people:
Co-Chairs: Jane Ratcliffe, Verity Bedford & Sherry Bonnet
Treasurer: Jane Ratcliffe
General members: Natalie Traves & Catherine Atkinson
What do we do?
We plan upcoming events and make decisions about how the funds raised should be spent, with input from the teachers. Not all the events organised are fundraisers; some, like school discos, are for pure enjoyment. We also support school at events such as Sports Day and Open Mornings.
How can you get involved?
You can join the Committee at the AGM or contact one of the committee members to see how you can offer informal help. We are always delighted to accept any help that you can offer, be it manning a stall at the Christmas Fair, helping out at Film Night or baking a cake for the Easter Tea.
Future Events - 2021/22
To be announced in the new school year.
