Friends of Payhembury School

FOPS is made up of all those parents and carers connected with school and is organised through a committee.

Through events FOPS raise money for things like school trips, the outdoor shelter (completed in September), scooters, bike racks and much more. FOPS play a vital role in school.

We have been fortunate enough to receive support from 2 local businesses this academic year. Payhembury Provisions donated some money to FOPs which helped purchase the bark to go under the new play equipment. Mark Millett (one of our parents) who works for Nu-Heat organised sponsorship of the school’s sports kit, this enabled the children all to have matching kit for the first time, and they look incredibly smart.

We have had an exciting year already with the completion of the outdoor classroom, installation of the outdoor play equipment, the 60’s/70’s fundraising event in the hall Christmas Fayre and the school nativity.

We are working together with the school’s eco council and the Parish Hall to have a clothes recycling bank put in the Parish Hall parking area. This will provide a facility for all the parish as well funds for the school.

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.

To find out more please get in touch with me.

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 […]
