Friends of Birchfield Schools (FOBS) is a Parents, Teachers and Friends Association (PTFA). Our purpose is to enhance, enrich and improve the learning experiences of all pupils by:
- Raising funds or other resources for school
- Holding events and other activities to build the school community
- Enhancing communication between families and school
FOBS is a registered charity and all committee members are volunteers. We meet as a committee around 4 times a year and we run fundraising events throughout the year aiming for at least one event each half-term
