The Football Tournament 2009 - Organised by Friends
The Friends support the school in a number of ways: by fundraising, by organising events, by offering specialist support, by being a sounding board on ideas and developments for the school.

Talk to any of the Committee (we are usually in the playground before and after school)
Leave a message with the office
What if I cannot attend meetings but can offer a 'one-off'?
The school is keen to utilise all the talents and offers of support that you give us. It doesn't matter if that means being able to help once or on a regular basis, just let us know.
How do the Friends communicate?
The school newsletter has regular contributions from the Friends group and especially on up and coming events. These pages will be updated regularly too. There is a Friends Noticeboard in the playground on the wall opposite the front entrance where we will display information.
