The Friends of Sauncey Wood aim to support the school in providing MUCH needed funding for furthering our children’s education.  A small but growing team, we run events and local community fundraisers that our children hugely enjoy and are beneficial financially to the school we support.

Who we are

Some of us have specific roles and some just help out at events when we are needed. Even if you can only give an hour or two, it all helps.  

Co-Chairs - Clare Barnes and Emma Day

Treasurer - Andrew Pritchard

Secretary - Lindsey Malone

Class reps:

Reception - Lisa Smith
Year 1 Rebecca Boyle Gow
Year 2 Jo Tanner 
Year 3 Rachel Farrell
Year 4 Jen Esberger
Year 5 Lindsey Malone 
Year 6 Katie Clark 

What we do

We organise events to bring parents, children and the local community together and raise money. The money we raise means the school can pay for essential equipment (hugely important in an era of massive governmental budget cuts) and organise fun events for all to enjoy and participate in.

The following are just some of the items we have purchased for the school in recent years:-

  • School learning kitchen

  • Playtime playground equipment

  • Laptops and much needed computer equipment

  • Forest School fencing and equipment

  • An outdoor gym

  • Daily Mile track

  • Scooter and cycle shelters 

  • Attendance awards

Each year we subsidise swimming lessons, the Christmas Pantomime and the Year 6 Leavers' Trip.

Why should I join Classlist?

Classlist is a secure way to communicate with other parents: it is accessible only by parents and carers at our school.  Classlist keeps all your parent communication in one place, rather than in various emails, WhatsApp groups, Facebook groups, etc, and provides a private group for each class, making it easy to communicate at a personal level.

Only other parents in your class can see your messages and your contact details, if you choose to share them.  Easy to create your own groups for anything that might be helpful from lift shares to Netball or Football matches, dog walking or babysitting.  Keep up-to-date with fundraising events, add your comments and ideas, or volunteer to help.  

Classlist is Data Protection registered.  You choose what personal information you share.  You choose how you receive Classlist updates and how often.  Come in and join our new online community! You can sign up directly by clicking here.
