Friends of Payhembury School

FOPS is made up of all those parents and carers connected with school and is organised through a committee made up of parents/carers. The committee makes decisions about the events and takes care of the formal aspects but rely on everyone else to get involved. We are extremely lucky to have such a great team at Payhembury and all the parents/carers and children are always willing to get stuck in and help out.

Some of our regular events include the Christmas Fair, May Day Fair, ice cream sales after school, wild area working days (with lots of yummy cake) and helping out generally with school as and when we are needed.

Through fundraising events FOPS raise money for fantastic school trips as well as things like the outdoor shelter, scooters, bike racks, welly racks, new outdoor play area and much more. We also organise social events for parents/carers and children throughout the year.

As the school continues to thrive there are more and more people willing and able to help and in doing so make FOPS a successful and fun group to be part of. We look forward to welcoming you to our amazing school and to FOPs.

May Day

June 3rd, 2017

An outstanding effort from the MET office brought the sunshine for May Day and the crowds came to celebrate. A beautifully poignant crowning on the green was followed by fantastic dancing from the children. No permanent injuries came from the welly wanging and all the dogs were very well behaved for Janet East in the dog show. Days of summer were welcomed in by the fabulous Otter Morris dancers, what a way to celebrate. Fun and laughter throughout made it a day to remember. Thank you to all the FOPs committee who worked so hard to make it such a […]
