Friends of Wilby School Association (FOWSA)

FOWSA is an important part of Wilby Church of England Primary School.  FOWSA is a registered charity, whereby all parents, grandparents and carers of the children of the school are automatically a member. 

FOWSA has a committee who meet once a term to organise and arrange various fundraising and enjoyable events throughout the school year.  The money FOWSA raises is used to provide the children of the school with the "icing on the cake" items that school budgets are unable to extend to. FOWSA has been responsible for the purchasing and funding of new books, a new stage, whole school trips to the pantomime and year 6 leavers jumpers.

To join the committee, speak to an existing member look out for the next meeting date in the newsletter. You can also contact us via email wilbyfowsa@outlook.com.

 We organise a variety of fun activities in order to raise funds for the school and enhance their primary school experience.

Chair: Julia Nowell

 Second Hand Uniform

 We, Friends Of Wilby School Association, have put a scheme in place to collect and sell second hand uniforms, raising money for the school and making uniforms that little bit more affordable where it helps. We collect throughout the year and sell mainly at the Christmas and Summer fairs. But if you are new to the school or could do with an extra item in between, do get in touch and if we have what you need, we will happily sell it as and when.

You can contact us at wilbyfowsa@outlook.com.

Bag2School

FOWSA periodically organise a Bag2School collection to fundraise. Bag2School collects good quality clothes, shoes, bags, soft toys, linen, curtains, towels, bed sheets, pillow cases, and duvet covers etc. We are then paid depending on the weight of the bags collected.
