Friends of Burstow School

 Friends of Burstow School

Friends of Burstow was started to provide closer links between home life and school. As a parent or carer of a child at Burstow School, you are automatically a member of FOBS. FOBS organise events and initiatives to raise money for the school. The funds we raise are spent on the ‘extras’ that are not provided by the school budget and some larger projects too. We always spend in ways that benefit all our children across all areas of the curriculum.

How we help

Like most Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs), the majority of our funds are raised through school events that we run. As a registered charity we can also apply for grants. We always try and respond to the staff and children’s requests: it is great to see them having fun at the events or enjoying using a piece of new equipment that we have been able to donate. Our fundraisers have included the summer & christmas fairs, discos, own clothes days, no adults allowed.

What we have recently achieved:
• iPads
• Books for every class
• Climbing frame
• Hall floor
• Reception playground equipment
• Sports equipment
• Forest school canopy

How you can help

There are lots of ways you can help. It doesn’t matter if you can’t come on a regular basis. For example, there are lots of jobs that can be done from home or volunteering at an event. We can’t achieve what we do without you! Do you have half an hour to spare?
