FOACS - (Friends of Abinger Common School)

Abinger Common School has a very supportive Parent /Teacher association called FOACS (Friends of Abinger Common School) which has charitable status and raises money to purchase items for the school not usually covered within the school budget.
. 

 
Every parent is a ‘friend’ and the fundraising, apart from being a lot of fun, raises approximately £5000 per year! This money is used for many projects which include school outings for the children, books and sports equipment, digital cameras, lap-top computers and most recently a Pirate Ship for the play area. Help is always needed and is most welcome.
 
 

The diary of yearly events is as follows:

FOACS DIARY OF EVENTS

 

Autumn Term

Jumble Sale A chance to give away outgrown toys and clothes; this event is a good fundraiser and we try to ensure left over items are distributed to further charities.

  Christmas Fair  Early December, usually a Sunday afternoon at the school with Christmas stalls, food, and crafts for the children. A great time to bring grandma!

  Christingle Service  Near to the end of term, a beautiful service held by candlelight in St James’s Church opposite the school, followed by mince pies, and mulled wine at the school provided by FOACS.

  End of term Christmas Dinner   FOACS cook the staff and the school governors a Christmas lunch, as they sit amongst the children and pull some crackers, and FOACS arrange for a party entertainer in the afternoon for the children .

Spring Term

 

Winter Warmer Evening Event   A variety events have been offered in recent years including a Burns night, a quiz night and a sing-a-long film show.  These are wonderfully sociable evenings for parents, staff and friends.
