About The Friends
The Friends was formed in Autumn 1991. Prior to this there had been no PTA and little in the way of fund-raising had been done to improve facilities for the pupils.
Since that time, in conjunction with school fund-raising, major items such as the playframes, safe surfaces, computers and the pergola have been purchased. Over the years numerous resources have been put into classrooms – books, maths resources, construction equipment, musical instruments and many more to support all areas of the curriculum. Each year the Friends purchase class Christmas presents, organise a Christmas and Summer Fair as well as many social events. Parents are automatically members of The Friends. The committee work tirelessly and always need your support. Do try to get involved it has proved to be an excellent route for parents to make new friends and become involved in many aspects of school life.
