The Courier

On behalf of FoC I'd like to say a huge thank you for all the support you have given us this past year. We have held some fabulous events and it has been a privilege to see the smiles on the children's faces while they enjoyed activities which ranged from pulling out a winning carrot to seeing who had the best dance moves! I've said it before (many times!) but FoC couldn't exist without all the parents and teachers who give up their time to help at the aforementioned events, so huge thanks to them too! 

We already have the Michaelmas term calendar planned and can't wait to crack on with the events. We are still implementing the findings of the parents' survey and are excited to be hosting our own Christmas Crafts evening! 

We hope you have a fabulous summer holiday and don't forget to keep any outgrown clothes either for Preloved uniform or our Autumn Bag2School Collection!! 

As you will be aware FoC is entirely dependent on parent volunteers to help run the events we organise. They also pay a crucial role in ensuring that classes are aware of relevant communications regarding events and collections. While it doesn't require a large scale time commitment, we do need parents who volunteer to be a Class Representative to be present when we need them! We aim for two representatives per class and currently need one Rep for our new Reception class and one for our new Year 1 class. 

Meetings are held once per half term with occasional online meetings in between. While we appreciate it is hard for some people to attend the meetings we aim for at least one representative per class. The main events we hold are the Christmas Bazaar and Summer Fete when it is literally all hands to the pump and sees parent volunteers working alongside the teachers. For other events we require fewer volunteers, but help is still appreciated! 

Role expectations: 

• Co-ordinate class bake sales (one per school year)
• Attend half termly meetings (if possible)
• Support the main FoC events by helping set-up and run a stall
• Ensure classes are aware of relevant communications about events and collections
