Friends of Pinner Wood School

Friends of Pinner Wood

The Friends of Pinner Wood is made up of parents, carers, staff and governors who volunteer their time to help:

• Raise funds for the school
• Raise the profile of the school in the local community
• Create opportunities for parents to meet other parents and members of staff

Our Aim

To arrange and deliver fun, enjoyable and inclusive events for all the family throughout the
school year. Previous events have included a Barn Dance, Bollywood Night, Mother’s and
Father’s Day sales, Discos, Coin Collections along with our annual Christmas Market and
Summer Fair. All the money raised from events goes straight to the school and pays for
extras that the majority of children at the school benefit from.

How to get involved

As a family at Pinner Wood you are automatically part of The Friends of Pinner Wood. Any
additional support you would like to offer is much appreciated – you choose how much time
you can afford…from sparing an hour to helping run a stall at an event; to baking a cake to
sell; through to coming along to meetings to share your thoughts. Please note our meetings
are relaxed and therefore young children are very welcome to come along.

You can contact us via email mailto:friendspinnerwood@gmail.com
