Friends of Wharncliffe Side

Friends of Wharncliffe Side School

Hello! We’re a team of parents and staff who volunteer our time to:

• Organise fun events and activities for the children and school community; regular events are;

○ Children’s disco

○ Children’s movie night

○ Autumn Fayre

○ Pre-loved uniform shop (monthly)

○ Christmas Jumper and Halloween Costume Swaps

○ Book Swap

○ Refreshments at school events

• Give opportunities for the school community to come together and be a more integral part of school life;
• Help spread the word about how wonderful and supportive our little school is;
• Encourage recycling and reusing of pre-loved items to help the planet and our pocket; and
• Help raise money for those extra things that help enhance the children’s time at Wharncliffe Side School and make it even better

Pre-Loved Uniform Shop

Good quality uniform for a small donation. Open 2nd Wednesday of the month, 2.45-3.45pm in the school bungalow. Contact us if you want something in between.

Uniform donations

Please put your washed, good quality uniform that’s no longer required in the donations bin at Reception.

Parent Seminars

Because we can never know it all and all need a little reminding sometimes, a series of online parent seminars are available for free to parents of our school via ParentKind. Visit www.parentkind.org.uk/your-pta-expert/parent-webinars for more information.

Keep an eye on what’s coming up by reading our termly newsletter and following our Facebook page.

If you’re a parent, grandparent or carer of a child at the school here’s how you can get involved:

• Volunteer your time or skills – just an hour assisting at an event, baking a cake, sourcing a raffle prize, making a game (the list is endless!). Join our WhatsApp

volunteer group to find out what’s coming up and how you could get involved. We’d love to hear from you even if you don’t use WhatsApp;

• Sign up to www.EasyFundraising.org.uk to give us money as you shop;
• Attend our events and buy our refreshments;
• Join the committee. We meet once a month and anyone is always welcome to come along and find out more. You’ll find the next meeting date on our Facebook page.

“Volunteering with FoWSS has given me a greater understanding of how the school works, the challenges and opportunities, and helped me feel more part of the school community.”
