Friends of School
The Friends of Little Weighton School (FoS) are an active (and very hard working) group of parents who organise events to raise funds for school resources and educational visits. In the last few years the Friends have subsidized our annual seaside trip, a trip to the pantomime at Christmas and our Year 5 and 6 residential trip to the Lake District. The Friends have also fund raised to buy iPads for school, up-date and replace furniture, provide waterproof clothing for our Early Years children, reading books and other similar resources.
Regular events include providing refreshments and craft stalls at our ‘Coffee and Carols’ event in the Autumn term, organising the Summer Fair – an event that usually raises in excess of £2000. Plus a number of other events for the children’s enjoyment, including termly ‘Film Nights,’ Christmas and Easter craft events and a ‘Posh Party’ (disco) that helps to give our Year 6 leavers a good send off. The Friends also regularly provide refreshments at other school events such as Sports’ Evening and Christmas Wreath making.
The Friends of the School are always looking for extra volunteers. If you are interested in joining the committee or just helping every now and again at an event please pop into Reception and we will forward on your details to the committee members.
