Friends of Hempnall Primary School - (FOHS)

The Friends of Hempnall School PTFA are a friendly group of parents and carers who organise exciting events and fundraisers throughout the year in order to raise money that will be invested back into the school and enrich the lives of the children.

The F.O.H.S charity has been an enthusiastic part of Hempnall School since 1995 and raise large amounts of money which pays for school trips, enrichment activities, resources, and equipment from Reception up to Year 6.

Everyone is welcome and new voices and ideas are appreciated. No matter how much (or little) someone can give. It all helps! We welcome school families to join our closed Facebook page Friends of Hempnall School
