At Ilchester Community Primary School, the Friends of Ilchester School (FIS) is vital to our school community. FIS is a volunteer committee dedicated to raising funds and hosting events that enhance the educational experience for all our students. The purpose and activities of FIS include:

1. Fundraising Initiatives: FIS organises various fundraising activities throughout the year to support school projects, purchase new equipment, and fund extracurricular programs. These efforts help provide additional resources that benefit our students’ learning and development.

2. Community Events: FIS hosts various events designed to bring together students, parents, and staff, fostering a strong sense of community. These events include family fun days, seasonal fairs, and social gatherings that create lasting memories and strengthen school spirit.

3. Supporting School Projects: The funds raised by FIS are used to support a variety of school projects, from playground improvements to classroom resources. This support ensures that our students have access to the best possible learning environment.

4. Encouraging Volunteerism: FIS encourages parents and community members to get involved by volunteering their time and talents. This involvement not only supports the school but also provides a rewarding experience for volunteers.

5. Building Connections: Through its activities, FIS helps build strong connections between families and the school, creating a supportive network that benefits everyone involved.

We are incredibly grateful for the dedication and hard work of the FIS committee and all the volunteers who contribute to making our school a vibrant and supportive community. Their efforts make a significant difference in the lives of our students and help create a positive and enriching school environment.
