Our Objective

To advance and enhance the education of pupils in the school through the 3 F’s below!

Family: to bring the children, parents and staff together and help contribute to the sense of community within the school.

Fun: to provide and facilitate a wide range of activities for our school community to enjoy.

Fundraising: to fund all the ‘extras’ for the benefit of the whole school. Provide facilities, equipment or financial support to advance the education of the pupils.

To achieve this we have a committee comprising of parents and staff and an enthusiastic body of helpers who turn out in force for our fundraising events.

Who are your Committee?

Chair:          Caroline Tye

Treasurer:   Liz Gupta

Secretary:   Andrea Finlay

A full list of current committee members is posted on the notice board at the school entrance.

We are looking forward to developing the committee so that each class has an assigned FOWPS Class Rep responsible for your year group. If you would like to talk to someone on the committee, feel free to approach any of the team. We’re happy to help.

What do we do?

• Allocate funds for outings and equipment or whole school initiatives.
• Organise and run whole school events like the annual Summer Fair, Wine Tasting Evenings, Ladies Pub Walks and the Christmas Market.
• Attend planning meetings – not too many!
• Organise dress down days, cake sales, raffles and discos.
