What we do:

Throughout the academic year, FoBPS arrange a variety of events for our families as well as the local and wider community which raise funds for the school and just as importantly enable pupils, parents/carers, and teachers to have some fun together. Events have included Christmas Bazaars, Summer Fetes, Discos, Movie Nights and Hot Chocolate/Ice Cream Sales. A Charity Ball, held in the St John the Baptist Church, which is extremely popular within the community and has been one of our biggest fundraiser. Events rely on the generous support of parents/carers as well the local and wider community and we are most grateful for all the contributions made in so many ways.

The FoBPS Committee meets regularly throughout the year, sharing ideas and planning events, as well as allocating funds to various school projects. These have included contributions towards:

• Christmas Pantomime Trip
• Classroom resources
• Sports Day Ice Cream/Snacks
• Class Christmas/End of Year party donation
• Year 6 leavers’ trip
• Hoodies/Yearbooks for Year 6 leavers
