Friends of Shirley - Our Parent teachers' association (PTA)
Friends of Shirley (FOS) is a group of parents, carers and staff who volunteer their time to organise fun and dynamic events for the children and families of Shirley Primary School. We raise money for key priorities of the school, as well as those little extras that make learning super special!
Through our events and fundraising initiatives, we support and promote a healthy and active lifestyle for children at the school, including sports, dance, music and cultural events.
In the past, FOS has organised events such as:
* Summer and Winter Fairs
* School Discos
* Raffles
* Film Night
* Refreshment Stalls
* Uniform Sales
We currently have five members on the committee who act as Trustees of our registered charity, as well as some dedicated volunteers.
Our committee members are:
● Bryony Morgan (Y3) (Chair)
● Ana Nunes (Reception & Y3) (Secretary)
● Stephen Philip (Y4) (Treasurer)
● Jenny Kirkham (Y3)
● Kirsty Winters (Y3)
