FOWSA

The Friends of Wilby School Association (FOWSA) is a registered charity (no 1063475) which was formed in 1995 with the object of supporting learning at Wilby School.  It is an association of parents and carers of children who attend Wilby School, including Nursery, and members of the school staff.  Members work throughout the year to organise fundraising events and, on average, raise £5000 a year, which is used for the benefit of the children at Wilby School.

Money which the Friends of Wilby School Association raises goes directly to the school:
supporting on-going expenses such as the photocopier and the running of the
      mini-bus
purchasing equipment; recent purchases have included laptops, smart boards, books,
      PE equipment
FOWSA consults closely with the school before committing money to a specific project and also to identify areas where future financial support may be needed.

Although the main fundraising events are the Summer Fair and the Christmas Fair many other events take place throughout the year, such as Cake Stalls, Race Nights and Film Nights.  The majority of the events are open to members of the public (see What's On page) although Film Nights are only open to children, and their families, who attend Wilby School and the school staff.

The committee always welcomes fresh ideas for fundraising events.

The committee meets regularly throughout the year and the 2010 AGM is on 15 November.

For further information regarding the Friends of Wilby School Association, or any event which the association is organising, please contact the school or  click here to e-mail the secretary.
