Friends of Ettington
|
||||||||
Who are FoES? Friends of Ettington School (FoES) is a community of interested parties who come together to support Ettington Church of England Primary School. We run events to raise funds which we plough back into the school. From reading books to subsidised school trips to welcome and leaving gifts to Christmas travelling pantos, FoES aims to improve and enrich every child’s school experience at Ettington. |
||||||||
Given the current economic challenges we’re all facing, we’re looking at how to support pupils at Ettington school without placing unwelcome burden on family finances. If any event costs are going to cause a barrier then please get in contact, either in person or via email on friendsofettingtonschool@hotmail.com |

Meet the FoES Committee |
||||||||
Our committee has a number of new members, so we’d like to introduce ourselves, starting with our wonderful new Chairman, Steph Sneath (photo below). Steph and Kristine Bileskalne bravely stepped forward as Chairman and Treasurer respectively when Michelle Beaty and Angela Russell requested to step back. FoES would like to thank Michelle and Angela on behalf of the school for everything they’ve done in getting FoES to the great place that it is, and we greatly value their continued support on the wider committee. |
||||||||
|
||||||||
The FoES committee is also grateful for the additional support from the wonderful Class Reps, hopefully you know who your class rep is but don’t hesitate to email us if you’d like us to confirm. |
