Welcome to Friends of Rowlands Gill Primary School

 

We are a charitable organisation (charity no.1050183) run wholly by volunteers, comprising of parents/carers and grandparents of the pupils at Rowlands Gill Primary School. Through partnership with the school we aim to enhance our children’s school experience by organising after school clubs and events, and through funding special projects.

  • Help on a stall at an event
  • Bake a cake
  • Distribute event posters
  • Secure donations/funding
  • Help organise events and projects
  • Fundraising ideas
  • Use your professional skills to help with the management of the committee
  • Join the PTA!
