FOBS (Friends of Bealings)
All parents are automatically members of the Friends of Bealings School (FOBS) who annually elect a committee to organise many enjoyable fund-raising and social events. Please do participate in whatever way you can – our children will benefit from funds we raise and of course we will all have fun raising them.
A really important aspect of FOBS is also time spent supporting with the upkeep of the school. We have begun to hold regular 'bee team' action days, when we might give an area of the grounds a spruce up, reorganise a room or repaint some signs or doors.

How are we raising money?
The half term cake sale run by the Year 6s always brings in a nice amount, as well as the Year 6 Hoodies sold at the beginning of each year and the annual Christmas cards.
The whole school features in the annual Bealings calendar produced by FOBs and money is raised via sponsorship as well as sales. Children come together to be photographed in the month of their birthday in a chosen theme, for 2024 we had Science, previously we have had artists, books and Harry Potter!
FOBs organised a party for all the children and their families on Thursday 25th April 2024. The disco was held at the Village Hall, with games, face painting, stalls ran by the children, a bar for parents, as well as delicious food.
Last year we held a Summer fair on the school field, with Soak the Teachers, Guess the Teacher by baby photo, face painting, several stalls and some of our students came together to perform in their band.
