Gotherington Primary School

Welcome to Friends of Gotherington School (FOGS)

Our Parent Teacher Association.

FoGS exist to raise essential funds to support school activities and to encourage closer links between home and school. We do this through fundraising events that provide an opportunity for parents, staff and pupils to get together. Funds in today’s environment is an increasing pressure so FoGS funds are vital to provide school with facilities, equipment or activities that would otherwise not able available to our children.

Last year an incredible amount was raised with the generosity and support of parents, the local community and businesses. And through events such as the Christmas and Summer Fair’s, disco, quiz night and Raffles. 

Here’s a taster of how the funds were spent:

• The new Learning Resource Centre (over £8,300)

• Maths & science workshops

• Pantomine

• Music tuition & instruments

• Living eggs program

Funds are split across six curriculum enrichment areas: art, sport, school trips, music, ICT and eco/school grounds. In previous years we’ve also supported pottery workshops, digital cameras, basketball hoops and other playground equipment.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped, your generosity benefits the entire school.

FOGS can only work with your support and involvement and there are lots of different ways to get involved. All contributions make an enormous difference.
