Becoming the best we can

Friends of FCCE

The Friends is a voluntary organisation whose primary objective is to help advance the education and enjoyment of the pupils in the school. It does this mainly by raising money to help the school to provide facilities which are not provided through statutory funding.

The types of annual events we have planned include:

  • Disco 

  • Christmas Fayre 

  • Globe Trot 

Details for each event will be publicised nearer to the dates. ​

Many thanks to all the parents, carers, family and friends of our school community who support our fundraising efforts.
