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

FoRGPS Rag Bag Scheme
The scheme is completely FREE, and your PTA will be paid for every KG recycled. You can raise hundreds of pounds with every collection made!
How does it work?
The PTA clothes bank is situated at the Dominies Close entrance opposite the school kitchen. All you need to do is bag up your items and put them into the clothes bank. Once the bank is full FoRGPS will arrange a collection, and all monies from the weigh in will be ploughed back into the school.
When can I drop items off?
Drop off by foot is between 7am – 5.30pm (Monday to Friday)
Drop off by car is between 7am – 8am, 10am – 2pm, 4pm – 5.30pm (Monday to Friday)
