Welcome

Welcome to the page of Friends of Woodthorpe (PTA). Below you can find details about the different events we will be organising. Also, you can follow our Facebook page here.

Who are we and what do we do?

We are a group of volunteer parents and teachers who work together to make the school a better environment for all our children.  Our aim is simple, it is to support the school by raising money to enhance, enrich and improve the learning experiences for all pupils.  We are more commonly known by the name FOWI, which stands for Friends of Woodthorpe Infants.

In the 2025-26 academic year, we raised money through:

• 2x School discos
• 3x Non-uniform days
• 2x Children's competitions
• Christmas cards
• Christmas trees
• Christmas fair
• Sports day refreshments
• Frozen Fridays
• Summer fair
• Family summer disco

Last academic year alone, FOWI made £7000 profit from the events detailed above.

We have supported all the fund requests from the school, which has supported:

• Reading areas for all classrooms
• Playground enhancements
• Music workshops
• Y2 Reading books
• Science curriculum
• Puppet workshop
• Contribution towards the Zoolab workshop
• Trampoline workshop
• Foundation enhancements
• Y2 leavers assembly
• Whole school pantomime

If you’d like to be put in contact with FOWI, please email Sara in the school office on office@arnoldwoodthorpe.notts.sch.uk and your information will be shared with us.

Everyone is welcome!
