Who are Friends of Winslow school (FOWS)?

The Friends of Winslow Church of England School (FOWS) are a group of parents, guardians and carers of pupils attending the school. It also includes both teaching and non-teaching staff at the school, and can also include anyone from the local community who is over the age of 18 who is willing to offer appropriate support or help to the school.

The aim of FOWS is to raise funds for the school to buy additional equipment to further enhance the facilities available to pupils within the school.  We organise a variety of events throughout the year to fit around and complement the busy life of the school and families alike.  

Who are the Committee Team?

The following teachers make up the Friends Committee:

 All other staff are ‘Friends of the school’ and may attend on a rota system to ensure that we have valuable teacher / support staff input through  the year.

What do we do?

FOWS runs in-school and virtual events in order to raise money to support the school. In the past we have run Raffles, Discos, Bake Sales, Cinema Afternoons, Bag2School, Dress Down and Break The Rules days, 5p Challenges, Sponsored Reads, and our always popular Summer and Christmas Fetes. During the last year we have also run many virtual events – including our Scarecrow and Christmas Tree Competitions, and our upcoming Easter Scavenger Hunt!

Event volunteers

We are always looking for volunteers to help out at our events – many hands make light work! We have run Cinema Afternoons, School Discos, Bake Sales, Summer and Christmas Fetes. We also need help for our virtual events, and are always looking for great new ideas!

Matched funding

Do you work for an organisation that offers matched funding to support charity work?  We would love your pledge of support to help increase funds with the minimum of effort!

Offer your skills

Do you have a skill or talent that you think we could utilise to raise funds?  Maybe you are a photographer or printer or maybe a keen cake baker or crafter!

Getting in touch…

If you would like to get involved as a volunteer or committee member, offer your skills, or if you have a fundraising idea you’d like to share, kindly offer your matched funding, make a cash donation of any size (just £5 would buy a new book for the library!), or would simply like to find out more about FOWS and the work we do, we would love to hear from you!
