Orton Wistow Primary School

The Friends of Orton Wistow Primary School

FOWS

We are a small group of parents that help the school in any way required and organize fund raising events.  Our fund raising achievements help the school to create better facilities for our children which they use and enjoy very much.  Working closely with the Head Teacher and all the teaching and non-teaching staff, we come up with ideas for fun and exciting events that both kids and adults can enjoy.  Just take a look at our exciting events' calendar for this year:

  •  Family Bingo Night with Fish and Chip supper
  • House cake sales
  • Xmas sale.  One of our most successful events where children are invited to buy their xmas presents for family and friends.
  • Summer Fete with lots of games, food and fun activities for the kids
  • Kids discos

and lots more to come

Over the years we have raised funds to support the school with a number of projects.  Some of which are:  a fantastic new library with state of the art computer systems, sound systems for great school performances, tyre play area, playground markings, Foundation Stages’ play fort plus lots, lots more  In fact, this year we are working with the school to help them build a new sensory garden with a variety or plants and trees as well as outdoor garden furniture.

 Lately we have established our own Facebook page which we expect lots of parents will use to keep in touch with us. (See link below)

 All the above and more has only been achieved with the support and generosity of the parents and the school management, which we are so grateful for. 

 In FOWS we will always welcome new ideas, members  or simply anyone who would like to help during a specific event.
