The Friends of Brentwood School (FoBS) is a committee of volunteers, both parents and teachers that help organise functions for socialising and fundraising throughout the school year. These functions are held throughout all three schools; Senior, Preparatory and Pre-Preparatory School. By being a parent of a pupil at one of these schools', you automatically become a member of Friends of Brentwood School.
The committee organises events to suit all tastes and are happy to receive your comments and suggestions for the future. We are always looking for volunteers to help in some way with particular events, so if you do not want to be on the committee itself, there are still many ways in which you can help, without taking up too much of your time.
The purpose of FoBS is to help parents to socialise within the school and to this effect functions are announced in advance, so you can put the date in your diary and join us for Dinners, Fashion Shows, Gala Dinner Nights, Ladies Race Days, Golf Days and Fun Days. Upcoming events can be viewed below.
Where does the fund-raising go?
Over the past few years we have provided tents for the Duke of Edinburgh awards, sound equipment for the Senior School Music Department, picnic tables for the Preparatory School, a poet to come for a 2 day workshop at the Preparatory School and an active Voting System for the Pre-Preparatory. Last year FoBS also introduced Personalised Leaving gifts to the Pre-Preparatory and Preparatory Schools, which are very appreciated by the pupils.
FoBS also operate a sale of Nearly New Uniform (NNU) and are always looking for donations of unwanted or outgrown uniform. Prices are very reasonable and the NNU shop is always worth a visit. Dates of these sales are usually announced in the school calendar and in the Headmaster's end of term letter.
If you would be interested in joining the committee, or would like to offer your help in some way at future events, please contact the secretary of FoBS, Paula Sparling, on 07760756453 or email: Paula.sparling@btinternet.com
