Friends of Griffe Field – FOG

FOG (Friends Of Griffe Field) is the school’s Parent Teacher Association (PTA).  A PTA is a voluntary organisation working on behalf of the school to help them raise additional funds.  Such funds are used to provide facilities, equipment, outings and activities that might not otherwise be able to be provided through the school budget.  Everyone is welcome to get involved with the PTA on a regular or occasional basis as your input and help makes a difference no matter how big or small.

 

As for FOG, we are a friendly diverse group, trying to promote a community environment in the school whilst also raising funds to enhance our children’s learning environment and school memories.  The school newsletter advertises our events and meetings, and requests for assistance sometimes go out in the children’s school bags.  We are always looking for more parents who have some time available to help out, be it at events or behind the scenes, so please get in touch if you think you could help or spare some time.  FOG truly believes we make a difference to every child at Griffe Field and would love you to come and contribute your ideas or help to make the FOG group even better.
