Children are welcome to attend too if it means you being able to attend (there are lots of things to keep them entertained)!

What are Friends Of Abbey and what do we do?

All parents are an automatic member of the Friends of Abbey Team and we welcome you to attend any of our meetings or events!  

Friends of Abbey is a registered charity with the sole aim to provide experiences and resources for our children that would not otherwise be covered by school budgets.  Whether this is playground markings, playground equipment, gym equipment, climbing walls, Now Press Play, stage curtains and many other beneficial resources or funded events such as the Platinum Jubilee Day we are committed to ensuring the children at our school get the very best! 

If you would like to be involved for half an hour, half a day or much more, then let us know what you are able to offer, and we would love you to join us.  We have smaller roles such as helping a stall to run during a Summer or Christmas Fayre, behind the scenes jobs such as shopping and wrapping presents to organising events or widespread advertising and communication. Whatever your skill set, we would love you to join us.
