Friends of Yardley Hastings Primary School

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has participated in, donated to and helped out with the various fundraising initiatives that ran during the 24/25 school year. We raised an amazing total of £7,136.36 across the film nights, cake sales and refreshments at events, in addition to our bigger activities of the annual Christmas raffle, Mr Baker's Wonka Bars, 24-25 Tea Towels and the inaugural summer pub garden celebration! This is a significant amount of money and wouldn’t have been possible without the continued goodwill, enthusiasm and engagement of the whole school community

April’s Spring Spruce Up was a huge success, creating a new sensory garden and refreshed areas of the playground and front entrance of the school. Thank you again to everyone who was involved in this project, we are sure it will be enjoyed by children for years to come. 

Other ways we have used FOYS funds this year included the purchase of additional books, Jolly Phonics resources, Merge Cubes, online learning subscriptions, sports equipment, Christmas crackers and baking ingredients for VE day picnic, amongst many other things.  We also asked class teachers to create a wish list for additional resources that would support their daily activity such as DT and art supplies and maths equipment, which will be purchased from the FOYS fundraising pot. 

There is no i in Team, but we sure are glad there is a u in Volunteer!
