FOGs (Friends of Grove School) is an integral part of the school community and has been for many years. Through the tremendous support of staff and parents, FOGs has raised many thousands of pounds which have been spent on improving equipment and resources and funding memorable experiences that will enhance our children's education and time at Grove School.

FOGs is a registered charity and holds it’s Annual General Meeting at the beginning of the autumn term, this is an opportunity for all parents to come along and hear in more detail about events run, funds raised, and how the money has been spent. It is also the occasion when we elect our new committee who then serve for a 12 month period, FOGs is always looking for new members to take an active role.

The Committee

Chair - Kate Moore

Vice Chair -Karen Bidgood

Secretary - Diana Nicoll

Treasurer -Liz Wilkinson

All parents and members of the school community can get involved if they want to, even if they only have a small amount of time available, and all parents are automatically members of FOGs when they join our school.

Being involved in FOGs is much more than just fund raising. The group exists to provide closer links between home and school, and it is an excellent way to bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school working towards a common goal. And it’s fun! Just ask any of the FOGs Committee or helpers.

FOGs issues it’s newsletter ‘Foglight’ on a regular basis, informing parents about upcoming events, how FOGs has been spending the money raised at each event and often seeking parental support to run discos, film nights, school fairs etc.
