Friends of Anson

Registered Charity Number 1205603

Friends of Anson (FoA) are the Anson Primary School parents and carers association.

Our ethos is to provide fun activities for the children and families of Anson while raising funds to support the school. We aim to follow the school vision and create a happy, friendly, and inclusive environment where children are confident and creative.

We have become a registered Charity (1205603) and the money we all raise provides funds for school resources that are not met by the school funding formulas.

Every parent and carer who has a child at Anson Primary School is automatically a member of Friends of Anson. We have a simple structure; parents, volunteers and the committee.

The work that Friends of Anson does adds to the experience of each and every child at the school.

Key events run by Friends of Anson are the Halloween Disco, Film Night, Summer and Winter Fayres alongside smaller cake sales, book shops and coffee mornings.

We have lots of plans for events including a welcome picnic for new Reception families, a Valentines Disco for the children and social nights for parents such as Bingo, Quiz Nights and dancing…
