Friends of Fairhaven

Here at Fairhaven we have a very active group of Friends.  It plays an important part in the school community, enabling the staff and parents to work together to provide greater opportunities for the children of the school beyond the confines of the National Curriculum. It provides a relaxed social context where parents can meet each other, share ideas, knowledge and expertise.  It provides a firm basis for the concepts of a learning community and a good support network for each other as well as the school as a whole.

Become a Friend of Fairhaven!

The Friends of Fairhaven are a group of parents who help raise extra funds for the school so that the children can enjoy educational and fun activities such as school trips, Easter egg hunts, discos and much more. Now that life is slowly returning to normal we’re excited to be resuming more of our fundraising!

We’re looking for more parents who would like to join our friendly, welcoming group. Perhaps you could bake a cake for one of our popular after-school cake sales, assist Santa in giving out presents in his Christmas grotto or enjoy helping the children hunt for Easter eggs! You can completely choose what you’re happy to get involved in based around your other commitments. Most of our meetings are online in the evening for convenience and are voluntary.

If you’re interested in getting involved please have a chat to one of the team at pickup or email us at friendsoffairhaven@gmail.com We look forward to hearing from you.

Also, if your children have any fundraising ideas that they’d like to put forward please let us know via our email or the school office – we’d love to hear them.

Secret Room

At Christmas The Friends run ‘Secret Room’ where the children can buy a surprise gift for a family member.  The gift is wrapped and taken home to be put under the tree.
