Friends of Parish School

Welcome to Friends of Parish School

Hello from the Friends of Parish School (FOPS)! 

FOPS is a voluntary organisation and a registered charity run by parents and carers.  When you join our school you automatically become a Friend of Parish. 

We have a Friends’ committee and being part of that is a fantastic way to get to know one another at school and to be involved within the Parish community.  We are always looking for new helpers or committee members and if you are able to help in any way do contact us at friendsofparishschool@yahoo.com. 

The purpose of FOPS is to provide additional resources to advance the education of our students and to invest in items that are not covered by government or trust funding.   

We aim to provide facilities/resources to enhance the in classroom experience and create extra curricular activities to foster community and create memories for the children at our school. 

We continue to maintain strong relationships with staff parents/carers and any others associated with school sharing what we do and supporting our community. 

We are also on Instagram which can be found here!

I look forward to seeing you all at our events this year.

Pre-loved Uniform

Save money and save the environment by buying pre-loved uniform from FOPS!

We have tonnes of clean, high quality pre-loved summer and winter school uniform in stock. Whatever item you're after, in whichever size, we'll do our best to help. If you can afford to make a donation, we ask for between 50p and £1 per item, but we're very happy to offer it for free if you need us to.

How to buy from FOPS

The pre-loved uniform shed is open on Monday afternoons.  The shed is located on the London Lane side of the Mansion building just by the side gates at the top of the service road.  If you are not able to visit the shed in person, please email fopsuniform@yahoo.com with a list of items you need and sizes and we will do our best to help.

All proceeds go to FOPS (and back into supporting our school).
