About us
We are a small, friendly group of parents who raise money for our school by working together and putting on events for our children throughout the year. We all have children at St. John's Primary Academy, some of us work full time, part time and others are stay at home parents.
Types of events organised throughout the year; Family Bingo, School Discos, Summer and Christmas Fayres, Christmas Card Project.
We the support of our parents/carers and wider community FoS have continued to raise money during these difficult times. Some of the funds raised have been donated to the school for coaches and trips, Year 6 Residential and new books. Other donations have been used for outside toys and rainy day toys and also for a set of 'big teeth' to teach the younger children about their teeth and oral care.
If you would like to join our committee or help at any of our events, please fill in the New Committee Members Form below this or leave your details at the school office and a FoS member will contact you. Even just one hour of your time is really appreciated.
Joining FoS
We are always on the look out for new members to join our committee. Many of our current committee have older children in the school who will be leaving St. John's over the next couple of years. This will mean these helpers and committee members will also be leaving their roles on FoS.
It would be so lovely to have some new members especially parents and carers of the EYFS and KS1 children to join FoS. This would help ensure that FoS can continue into the future and carry on fundraising for the school.
If you are interested in getting involved or would like more information, please come along to a meeting or contact the school office stating your interest. A FoS team member will get in touch with you as as we can.
Thanks.
