Friends of Claverdon Primary School

Welcome to the Friends of Claverdon Primary School web pages where you will find news about the fundraising ideas and events to be held in school. We hope you will find lots of useful information here, if you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to contact us with feedback.

The Friends are very active at Claverdon Primary School organising events which bring together members of the local community. Money is raised to enable the school to buy a variety of much needed equipment. A full and varied range of functions is organised for both children and parents, many parents offering their help to run these events. These are great fun and a good time is had by all! Any parent or carer who wishes to attend a meeting or help at any organised event is welcome and every offer of help is really useful and very much appreciated.

**What is the Friends of Claverdon Primary School?**

Mission Statement

We FOCPS, are committed to organising events that are fun and bring together families, staff and the local community whilst raising funds for the benefit of all children at school both now and in the future.

All Parents, Teachers and Teaching Assistants at Claverdon Primary School are automatically members of the Friends (FCPS). The aim of FCPS is to foster better relationships between parents and the schools, to create a partnership which helps the school to listen and to deal with parents' concerns, for parents to learn more about what they can do to help the school and improve their children's education.

We have a committee of volunteers who are are nominated and voted in at the Annual General Meeting in November.

What events do FCPS host?

There are a number of events which are may be held throughout the year including:

FCPS Meetings and AGM
Chocolate or Cake Fridays
This is a cake sale held each Friday, usually for the second half of the term, after school with the parents and carers of each school year taking it in turn to run the stall. Prices are set so that the children can buy one or more cakes with their pocket money.
Yellow Moon
A catalogue for which we get up to 25% cash back.
Refreshments
at the Christmas performances and other events.

FCPS Diary

Don't forget to look at the FCPS diary for activities spanning over the academic year. more...

The 100+ Club

The 100+ Club offers its members the opportunity to support Claverdon School whilst also - here's the good bit - giving the opportunity to win a non-taxable lump sum every month. And, probably, with better odds of winning than Premium Bonds or The National Lottery, it would be madness not to join. more...

Do you shop on the internet?

If you do, then you can help us raise money for school by using our new online fundraising service 'The Giving Machine'. It is very simple to use and will not cost you a penny! more...

Yellow Moon

We need your help to raise vital funds for the School. But don't worry, we're not asking you to donate money this time! Instead we've found an ingenious way for you to buy wonderful products to keep your child entertained and help their development - plus help us raise the funds we need too. more...
