FOPs Update – 13th October 2017
13 October 2017 By
Friends of Payhembury School
Our aim is to support the school by raising money for the ‘extras’ which otherwise would not be provided, and through this enhancing our children’s experiences.
What does FOPS spend our hard-earned money on?
Parents, carers, local residents and businesses are always very generous helping FOPS raise money for the school. In the last academic year (September 2016 – July 2017), we gave over £900 to the school. The majority of this was towards trips and events outside of the classrooms although we also bought end …

FOPs Update – 6th October
8 October 2017 By
Thank you so, so much for all of the contributions given for Rev Cate's high tea on Monday. It was an amazing spread and both Cate and the school were delighted with the afternoon. The children seemed pretty happy too; mine told me afterwards they had each had 5 sandwiches and 5 cakes but because they had eaten them alternately they thought it was OK.
What do you spend our hard-earned money on?
We've been asked this question a few times this term already. We're creating a summary of our recent purchases for the school which we'll include in …

May Day
3 June 2017 By
An outstanding effort from the MET office brought the sunshine for May Day and the crowds came to celebrate. A beautifully poignant crowning on the green was followed by fantastic dancing from the children. No permanent injuries came from the welly wanging and all the dogs were very well behaved for Janet East in the dog show. Days of summer were welcomed in by the fabulous Otter Morris dancers, what a way to celebrate. Fun and laughter throughout made it a day to remember.
Thank you to all the FOPs committee who worked so hard to make it …
