FOS (Friends of Otterbourne School)
What is FOS?
The Friends of Otterbourne School is a registered charity. It has two main focuses:
1) run events to engage the school, all the children and the staff and the wider community around it with a selection of events spread across the year.
2) to fundraise so that we can support the school with any additional monies so that they can focus their resources on more standard needs, we can fund the 'added extras' for example extra play equipment, new playground markings etc.
We are always looking for willing volunteers to help support our events. There is a link on the main page which links directly to the FOS Facebook page. If you are interested in getting involved you can send us a message there.
