Friends of William de Ferrers School

Dear Parents

The Friends' of the William de Ferrers School is an extended form of the Parent Teacher Association and supports the work of the school in a range of areas, with the aim of benefiting the pupils.  In the past the Friends have been able to purchase equipment for a variety of departments and outside seating for students. We believe that a strong and well supported Friends’ of William de Ferrers School is an essential part of the school’s future.

The Friends' would therefore like to ask each family with one or more children attending the school to make a voluntary donation of any amount, no matter how large or small. Some families may already have made a donation for which we are extremely grateful. If you are able to make a donation this can now be made via ParentPay. We very much hope you will be able to help us to support your children.

For information the elected officers are:

Chair - Brenda Haffner 

Vice Chair - Leanne Matthews

Treasurer/Secretary - Susan Wakeling 

Please direct any correspondence or enquiries to friends@wdf.school in the first instance.

We are always looking for new members to join the committee or if you don’t want to make that regular commitment why not join our list of volunteers who help out at events.  Anyone can volunteer and you don’t need to be a parent.  For further information please email friends@wdf.school.
