Friends Of Pangbourne Primary School
Friends of Pangbourne Primary School (FOPPS) is a PTA (Parent Teacher Association) which raises money to buy equipment and learning resources, and offer new experiences to all children at the school.
We also run major events for the local community, bringing people together to have fun and raise money for a good cause.
Over the years we have raised thousands of pounds and paid for a huge range of things including:
A new minibus
Computers
A new library
Coaches for school trips
School pianos
Staging
A bike shed and shelter
Interactive white boards
You can now buy anything through Amazon Smile and 0.5% can go to FOPPS 🙂

Our main fundraising events are: Pangbourne Fireworks Fiesta, Pangbourne 10k, and the BBQ and bottle tombola at the Village Fete.
For pupils and parents at the school, we run cake sales, Christmas crafts, raffles, “Sunshine Fridays” Ice Cream sales, and lots of other fun events. We also hold social events so parents and children can get to know each other better, and offer second-hand uniform for sale as well as clothing recycling.
