Friends of Ombersley Endowed First School & Pre-School

Who Are the Friends?

We're a friendly group of parents and carers who work together to make school life extra special for the children at Ombersley Endowed First School & Pre-School.

Through fundraising, fun events and activities, we raise money for additional resources, school trips and memorable experiences that enrich the children's time at school.

From our much-loved Christmas Fayre and seasonal celebrations to exciting new activities, we love bringing our school community together and creating special memories for the children.

Everything we do is about making a positive difference to school life, and we couldn't do it without the support of our wonderful families!

How We Make a Difference

Every penny we raise goes towards supporting the school and creating opportunities for the children.

Our fundraising helps provide additional equipment, resources and experiences that go beyond everyday school life.

Recent highlights include providing new outdoor play equipment and securing a fantastic £1,000 through the Waitrose Community Matters scheme.

From bake sales and school discos to our Christmas Fayre and other special events, every contribution helps us do more for the children.

Want to Get Involved?

We are always looking for new faces, fresh ideas and helping hands!

Being part of the Friends doesn't mean committing all your spare time or attending every event. Any help is welcome, big or small.

Whether you can spare an hour to help at an event, share an idea or offer a skill such as photography, carpentry, design or admin, we'd love to hear from you.

We hold regular Friends meetings, but you don't need to attend to get involved. Simply chat to a committee member or speak to your class representative.

Together, we can make a real difference to the children's school lives!
