FoGT

Friends of Great Tey

All parents and friends of the school are automatically offered membership of this active association. It acts as a focus for those who wish to assist the school in fund raising and by offering other voluntary help.

FoGT activities are co-ordinated by a committee elected each year at the Annual General Meeting. A variety of events are run and these provide a friendly forum for parents, staff and friends to meet, discuss and work together. Events have included fetes, a street party, a camping weekend and coffee mornings. Fund raising has enabled the provision of many essential items in school.

FoGT also support regular funding towards educational visits and trips; run regular craft workshops for children; organise the annual leavers disco.

In addition, members are always available to provide voluntary help at most school activities.

FoGT look forward to meeting you.
