Friends of the school

WHO ARE WE?

Burnsall Friends is a group of parents who meet each half term to arrange fundraising events to pay for the fabulous little extras that our children enjoy, such as the pantomime or musical, art and drama workshops, or to help to pay for equipment that the school feels would be of benefit to our children’s learning.

As a small school, our numbers are limited, so every parent is very welcome to come along and see how they could help. We play other varied roles within the school year, be it serving refreshments, gardening or organising Sports Day, so there is always something that you can offer.

Friends of Burnsall is a registered charity. The group currently has an elected chair, Tim Spooner, and a team of parents who work alongside the school; we organise and run fundraising events for the school community.
