FOSS (Friends of Sandridge School) are a group of parents who work with the school to raise much needed additional funds for our children. Together, with senior leaders and governors, we ensure that money raised by families and members of our school community is being spent on the resources and equipment that staff and pupils need the most.

Co-Chairs – Michelle Poole and Jess King
Treasurer – Alan Eves
Committee members – Claire Morread, Gemma Wren, Kerri Nelson, Pauline Baron

Message from the Co-Chairs

We have been parents at Sandridge school for over 6 years, and have both thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the fundraising team from the moment our children joined the school, to date.

Working closely with the children, parents and staff is such a pleasure, and a great reflection of what a truly fantastic school Sandridge is.

Its hugely rewarding to watch the children enjoying all of the events that we have hosted so far, and we cannot wait to see what this year holds!

Our Plan

To organise a range of fun and exciting fundraising events, throughout the academic year, to help enrich our beautiful village school environment, and the learning experience for the children.

Want to help?

If you would like to be involved with FOSS but can’t commit on a regular basis, that’s fine!  Just come along to the next advertised committee meeting, or whenever you can.

Look out for posters and mentions of our future events in the school newsletter and on our noticeboard, and bring along family and friends.

We appreciate your support in any way!
