FOSSS - Friends of St Sidwell’s School
Meet our Chair of FOSSS:
I would like to introduce myself: I’m Chris, the new Chair of FOSSS.
I’m a local business owner and proud parent of a 5-year-old daughter in Year 1.
FOSSS is our PTFA committee. We fundraise money for the school that helps provide valuable enrichment opportunities for the children through bake sales, discos, fairs, and many more exciting events. The funds raised help cover the cost of school trips, workshops, class projects and other extras that enrich school life.
As always, a huge thank you to all the amazing parents, carers, staff, and supporters who help make our school community so special.
If you have any questions or suggestions, or if you'd like to share a fundraising idea, please feel free to email me at FOSSSS@stcmat.org.
Best wishes,Chris HoskinsChair, Friends of St Sidwell’s School (FOSSS)
How can I get involved?
We aim to make volunteering with FOSSS a fun and rewarding social experience and we hope you'll join us! We need at least one volunteer from each year group to sit on our planning committee, and many more besides to help run our events. There will be meetings and coffee mornings early in the year to find out more and join up, or you can send us an email anytime:
