FoC Update

Forthcoming FOC Events

The calendar for this term and the early part of next term is now finalised. Year 4 kicked off the year with a bake sale last Friday which I'm delighted to say raised £280. Thanks to all those who supported the event and well done to the parents who braved the cold to sell the cakes!

The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that the Disco date has changed on Classlist and Facebook from 8 March to 26 April. This was due to a number of children being away for the ISA Football Finals in addition to their parents - many of whom are key FOC helpers and we wouldn't be able to run the event without them! Hopefully the new date is convenient for all.

Coming up:

9 February - Year 3 Bake Sale
1 March - Year 2 (2W) - Bake Sale
15 March - Year 2 (2E) - Bake Sale
26 April - Disco (Bouncing Bobs is back!)

Preloved Uniform
Please continue to drop off your Preloved Uniform! We are planning a date for a Preloved Sale and will be communicating it shortly.

Easy Fundraising

It's been a while since we reminded parents that FOC is signed up to Easyfundraising - a brilliant app that generates cash back every time you shop online. Pretty much every shop is signed up to it including Amazon, eBay, John Lewis & M&S. All you have to do is download the app using the link below. Once you have the Easyfundraising app, the only thing you have to remember is to go into the app, search for the shop you want to buy something from and click “Shop Now”. The app will redirect you to the online shop and from that point you can shop as you normally would on that retailer’s website.

The only thing to watch out for is to make sure the item you want to buy isn’t already in your basket and if you leave the shop’s website, make sure you go back to it via the Easyfundraising app. Other than that, it’s so easy and it quickly raises money for the FOC without you having to do anything! Please give it a go and if you have any problems let me know.

To sign up please follow the link below and feel free to pass it on to friends and family...the more supporters the better!
