Friends of Spratton School (FOSS)
We are incredibly grateful for the continuing great work of FOSS (Friends of Spratton School) who organise entertaining activities for families to enjoy throughout the year and raise amazing amounts of money for our school. This money is used for additional exciting experiences and support for learning for all children in the school that we would otherwise be unable to fund. This invaluable contribution from our school community enables us to provide an enriched curriculum and access to excellent resources.
FOSS always welcomes new members who are able to help to organise and support events.
If you would like to find out more, please see the FOSS Facebook page or contact Vicki Skinner (FOSS Chair) by email sprattonpta@gmail.com or through the school office.

AGM
Friends of Spratton School is our school community support group who do fantastic fundraising work for our school and provide opportunities and curriculum enrichment for all children. Last year (2019-2020) the group made a fantastic contribution to learning and engagement in the school, providing funding for several events including a theatre trip, a visit from Lion Learners Menagerie and fun events for the children during the year.
They also purchased some fantastic resources for the children to access in our school library including subscriptions to Storytime magazine, First News newspapers and hundreds of lovely new books. In addition to this, a set of iPads currently in use in school were kindly purchased for us by FOSS.
Despite the challenges posed by the current situation, FOSS are still going strong and are holding their Annual General Meeting next Thursday at 8pm via Zoom. New members are always welcome, so please contact the Chair of the Group Vicki Skinner via the school office if you would like to join us.
