Friends of St Mary's
The Friends of St Mary's School is a registered charity open to parents/carers, teaching staff, Governors and anyone interested in the welfare of the school.
We are a vibrant, dynamic group and our aim is to make our children's education a rich, varied and fun experience. We believe that a school is a community to which every parent/carer can contribute for the benefit of their children.
We hold a number of fundraising events throughout the year including the Yate Scarecrow Trail, Christmas fair, discos, tuck shops, family bike ride, cake sales, and the St Mary's 5K and fun runs - among others! We meet once a term and welcome any new members.
In the 2023-2024 school year we raised an amazing £3,061 from various events.
This has allowed us to help fund new wet play boxes for all the classes, Swap Shop uniform storage, topic books, contributions to the cost of school trips/experiences, theatre production of "The Jungle Book", and Christmas selection box for every child in the school.
We have also funded new play equipment that will be built over the summer holidays that we hope the children will enjoy on their return to school.
During the 2024-2025 school year our target is once again to raise more much needed funds for the school.
Our current committee members are:
Chair - Julie Hope
Treasurer - Laura Leach
Secretary - Hayley Turner
We are always looking for new "Friends" and welcome anyone to come and join us at one of our meetings, send us a message via email or the school office or like our Facebook page! Take a look at the flyer below for more information.
