About FODS

Friends of Dulverton School or FODS (Reg. Charity No. 1077469) are a very friendly, active and supportive group of parents/guardians, who run various fundraising projects and organise numerous events throughout the school year. Our big three events are the Summer Fun Day, Inflatables Day and the Christmas Fair plus School Discos, Magic Shows, Circus Events, Easter Extravaganza's and much more!

Our main aim is to support and advance the education of pupils in the school by:

• Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school
• Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils

In addition to our events there are other ways to fundraise including:

• Easyfundraising sign up and shop online through easyfundraising.org.uk at over 2000 companies and collect free donations from every purchase
• Amazon Smile - You can shop and raise money for the school at the same time and what is great is there is no additional charge to you the buyer!
