Friends of Steep Primary School
About FOSS
At Steep Primary School we are very fortunate to have an active Friends of Steep School association who work together with the school community to plan events and activities.
The aim of FOSS is to enrich the resources available to our children and every penny raised goes towards supporting that cause. FOSS aim to have a mixture of social, educational and fundraising events and are always delighted to see new faces get involved.
All parents are automatically members of FOSS and are invited to join the FOSS AGM which we aim to hold each January. We encourage everyone to take an active role however small, whilst their children are at the school.
Periodic newsletters and updates from FOSS ensure that everyone is informed about social events and fundraising.
Money Raised
All money raised is for the benefit of the children. Recent money raised has been allocated to the improvement of outside spaces and resources for gardening and outdoor learning.
Events
Events are planned throughout the year and are communicated via the school and on our dedicated Facebook group that can be found here.
Highlights include:
- September ‘Welcome Picnic’
- Annual Christmas Fair
- ‘Steepfest’ - our grown ups only event with a live band, food and bar
- Summer Fete
