Friends of Buckingham Primary School

Welcome to our page!

The Friends of Buckingham Primary School are a very active group of parents who support the school in lots of different ways. There are many fundraising events during the year and other opportunitues to support the school.  In addition to the fundraising activities we have established a Parents' Network to gather all the talents and skills of parents and carers at the school. The Friends Committee have made a real difference to the school and provide many additional resources that make the school such a rich and wonderful learning environment.

PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE CALENDAR OF EVENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION ON THIS WEBPAGE!  Thanks

About the Friends....

We are a friendly group of parents, who meet to discuss the planning and organisation of Events throughout the year, in order to raise further funds for the school. These Events are fun for all pupils and teachers! The money raised is used within the school to further enhance the learning environment.  So, however much time you can spare, a little or a lot, you can help make a difference and everyone is most welcome. Please use the contacts below if you would like to know more.....

The 'Friends' are very proud to announce the handover of a cheque to School on 9th May 2009 for £20,000 to contribute to the building of the All Weather Pitch. (Click on the item on the right hand side to see more details and picture)

Company Match-Funding Schemes for Charity Fundraising.  We have been very lucky this year to have been supported by a number of companies, where their match-funding schemes have provided us over £1500 in additional funds for BPS.

Many of the schemes operate whereby they will match fund on a sliding scale depending on the type of event and the amount raised.

If your employer offers any type of match-funding we would be very pleased to hear from you.  To discuss further, please contact Paula Drakard on 01280 816103 or by email pdrakard@hotmail.com.
