The long established 'Friends of St. George's Primary School', popularly known as 'The Friends', get together on a regular basis to plan and suggest ideas for fund raising and social events. The meetings are informal, friendly and opento all parents, relatives and carers of children in school, and to members of staff. All help is welcome, either with ideas, donations, at meetings, or at events. The Friends' notice board is situated on the front of the main school building. Here you can find information on events and who to contact.

Events in the past have included Christmas celebrations, jumble sales, bingo nights, race nights, barbecues, coffee afternoons etc., but we are always on the lookout for new, fun ideas.

The money raised helps to provide many extras for the children - such as theatre and pantomime trips, educational and recreational resources, and subsidies for school activities to help reduce the cost for parents/carers.

The Friends also help to raise money for the BBC Children in Need Appeal, and provide refreshments for the children at the school's annual sports day.

The Friends committee is elected at the AGM in the Autumn term, but new helpers are welcome to join in at any time simply by coming along to a meeting, an event, or social gathering.
