What is Friends of School?

Friends of School (FOS) is a registered charity comprising of volunteers who work together to raise funds by organising fun events for the children and the community. The funds are used for essential and additional school resources which directly benefit our children. The more support we get from parents, carers and families the more positive the impact we can make for our school.

Would you like to join or support FOS?

We’d be delighted to welcome new members to FOS, so don’t be shy! Approach your class rep for a chat to understand more about what and how we do things. You’re bound to have a skill or talent that could benefit FOS and our fundraising activities. It is really rewarding and a terrific opportunity to get to know other parents and that little bit more about the school too!

Easy Fundraising

Already Friends of Cropwell Bishop School have raised over £1100 by supporters shopping through Easyfundraising.org.uk

It’s like nectar but instead of earning points, each purchase generates a donation. So instead of going directly to a retailer’s website, go to easyfundraising first or through their app and choose the retailer you want to shop with – then everything you spend with that retailer earns a free donation for Friends of Cropwell Bishop Primary School. It’s completely free to use and your shopping won’t cost you a penny more!

Please join by registering via the link above. We’ll also receive a bonus £1 for every new supporter that downloads the easyfundraising donation reminder tool!

Co-op Local Community Fund

Please support us by selecting our school for the local community fund via your co-op membership

We are excited to launch the fundraising for a new play area. Our existing play area is over 20 years old and is no longer economically viable to repair and will be closed off to the children soon.  It is essential that this area is replaced as it is invaluable, providing opportunities for exercise, motor skill development, supporting the Children’s wellbeing and focus and attention when in class. Together, we need to raise £50,000 to fund the installation of a new ‘all-weather’ play area for our children and future generations.

Help us reach our goal

£15 pays for a climbing hand hold
£25 buys a 1-metre square of new all-weather surfacing
£40 buys a hand rope
£60 buys a stepping stone
£100 buys a connecting beam
