Friends of Western is our name for the school PTA (Parent Teacher Association)
We are a group of parents and carers, supported by school staff, who meet regularly to organise events to raise extra funds for the school. As a parent or carer of a child at Western you are
automatically a member of Friends of Western! We hold regular events including raffles, Crazy Hair Days, Cake sales and an annual Summer Picnic with stalls and refreshments. These have enabled us to fund productions by visiting theatre companies, a book for every pupil at Christmas time, Animal handling workshops during careers week, puddle suits for the children in early years and to pay for extras in school that otherwise would not be possible.
We are always keen for new people to get involved so please come along to a meeting. We meet several times a year – details about forthcoming meetings are shared on the School Gateway app and
in the FoW newsletters. Coming to a meeting does not commit you to anything but means you can share ideas and help make decisions about what sorts of activities we could organise and how to use the money we raise.
We know lots of people would like to get involved but may not be able to come to our meetings – so if you have any skills to share or fundraising ideas, please do email us: [email protected]. Alternatively, please a leave at message with one of the friendly school reception staff and we will get in touch.
