Friends of Barnes
Who we are
FoBs are the mums, dads and carers of pupils at Barnes Infant Academy; all parents/carers automatically become a member when their children join our school.
FoBs exists to foster a ‘community’ spirit among parents/carers and staff of Barnes Infant Academy and raise extra funds for expenses outside of the school budget. FoBs’ goal is to improve the learning experiences of pupils and make every day more rewarding, exciting and fun.
What we do
-
Enable parents/carers to help Barnes in and out of the classroom
-
Promote Barnes Infant Academy in the wider community
-
Organise school social events and activities
-
Fundraise for Barnes and selected charities
Every child benefits from the extra funds raised by FoBs and parents/carers enjoy a stronger sense of community and connection with teachers, governors, school values and direction.
