Friends of Shap School (FoSS)

Welcome to Friends of Shap School (FoSS)!

We’re thrilled to introduce you to the Friends of Shap School (FoSS) – our dedicated Parent Teacher Association that helps enhance the educational experience of every child at our school. Through exciting events, creative fundraising, and a strong sense of community, FoSS plays an essential role in making Shap School an even better place to learn and grow.

Get Involved – Make a Difference!
When your child joins Shap School, you automatically become a Friend of Shap School! We warmly invite you to attend our meetings, share ideas, and help shape the experiences we provide for all children. We typically meet every half-term to brainstorm, plan, and organise upcoming events. New faces and fresh ideas are always welcome—whether you can lend a hand occasionally or join regularly, your involvement makes a huge difference.

Why Join FoSS?

Joining FoSS is a fantastic way to connect with other parents, support your child’s school, and make a direct impact on enriching school life. Volunteering with FoSS is flexible, rewarding, and a fun way to contribute to our community!
