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 2024-25 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, our FOWI made £7000 profit from the events detailed above.

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

• Tablets (per class)
• Reading books
• OPAL resources
• End of year production 'Alice in Wonderland'
• Art & craft supplies
• Vital resources for the Foundation 2 learning environment
• End of Year 2 celebration (including a magician)

We will be posting updates over the course of the year, so please keep checking back. You can also keep up to date with events on our Facebook page, “Friends of Woodthorpe Infants Group”.

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

Everyone is welcome!
