WHO ARE WE
The Friends are a group of parents, family members and the local community who want to help the school and its children to have the best experience with the necessary resources to enhance their learning environment. We are always open to new members and everyone plays a key role in the life of the school. As a parent with a child in the school you are automatically a member of the Friends and are invited to attend the meetings.
The primary role of the Friends is to raise additional funds for the school. Many of the extra items within school have been funded by them for the benefit of all the children both in a direct educational manner but also extra-curricular activities. This includes computers, tables and classroom resources.
