About 'FRIENDS'

‘Friends of Brampford Speke School’ is a registered charity run mostly by parents to raise money for the school through an annual calendar of social events and activities.

From art shows to school quiz nights, breakfasts to more specific children’s events, we not only aim to raise funds but also to bring parents, children and the wider community together to strengthen and celebrate the school and village of Brampford Speke.

Although we have a small operational committee, we welcome the involvement of everyone who has any links to the school. Meetings take place once every half term (generally in the village pub) and everyone is invited to come along. Look out too for our newsletters distributed via the book bags at school giving details of events and meetings.

The Story So Far….

Since September 2009, we have already managed to raise over £1200. This money together with additional fundraising events planned below will help the school to purchase new playground equipment as well as to continue to support and underpin a variety of specific teaching initiatives within the three class structure.

Listed below are some forthcoming events – we look forward to seeing you!

A Spring Breakfast – February 2010

Easter Egg Fun – March 2010

School and Village Show – Sunday June 19th 2010
