Friends of Box FoBS

Read the latest news from our FOBS team. 

e are always looking for people to help with FOBS. Welcome to the new school year at Box Primary School! Friends of Box School is a PTA style group bringing together parents and the whole school community. The group is about arranging school clubs and extra curricular activities, engaging in community events or supporting the provision of additional facilities or equipment which supports the school and advances the education, enrichment and development of the pupils. We do the fun stuff, harnessing the energy and resources of the amazing Box school community. We include a wide group, including parents, all school staff, grandparents, carers, former parents and pupils, local businesses and anyone else who is part of the Box School Community. We think of all of you as friends of the school. Together, we make school life even better. FoBS is a charity and run by a board of willing volunteers from the parent community.

We work alongside the school leadership to support the school being so much more than delivering the curriculum. We have loads planned for this year – loads of clubs, Cycle Ride, our amazing Colour Run and Trail Run, stargazing, Christmas activities, careers, Revels, and much, much more. Be involved.

There’s more information in this leaflet about how you can be involved and contribute. We need people to put their hand up in so many ways. Do it for the kids, do it for yourselves, make a difference, be a part of it. Every penny we raise is controlled by FoBS and used for the benefit of the kids, but it is about the experiences. That’s what they’ll remember. We are determined to keep as many clubs and activities free to all.

We know that adding even modest charges becomes a barrier to access. For that to work we need to work really hard to raise funds in other ways, across our community. Help us if you can, in whatever way to are able. Matthew Graham Matthew Graham - Chair Join the FoBS information Whatsapp group by simply messaging to 07779 227261.
