Fitzharrys School Association
The Fitzharrys School Association (FSA) is Fitzharrys' equivalent of a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), which exists to raise extra funds which will be used to support the work of the school. The FSA is run by a friendly committee of parents, carers and staff who plan social events and fun activities to raise money to go towards new school resources and to help improve facilities.
Why do we need to raise money?
The mission of the FSA is to raise funds to improve our children's educational opportunities and school experience. Fundraising allows Fitzharrys to continue to offer the 'extras' which are so important in a school and not covered by existing funds.
How can you get involved?
All parents, carers and staff are automatically members of the FSA and there is an open invitation to attend committee meetings. We are always very happy to welcome new faces to the committee and are very grateful for volunteers to help at events.
FUNDRAISING FOCUS 2024-25
Each year, the Fitzharrys School Association sets a fundraising target.
This year, the FSA is setting out to raise £4000 for a project to be confirmed very soon following discussions with the student council in conjunction with the staff leadership team. We will report back as soon as we have agreed plans.
Last year, the FSA raised over £5,700 towards wall art items for the Maths and MFL departments! We will be working closely with these departments to oversee the design and installation of the wall art later this year. The previous year's FSA funds were spent on wall art for the Humanities and English departments which was installed in October 2023 - and is now bringing the WOW factor to these areas. They have made a huge difference and are having a very positive impact on staff and students alike.
A big thank you to all the FSA supporters!
GoFundMe 2024
Our new GoFundMe has been our most successful to date! We had planned to raise £750 this way with the aim of achieving 25% of our original annual fundraising goal of £3000 - our overall target for 2024-25. However, the staggering generosity of the Fitzharrys community has seen this year's GoFundMe smash through its original target, raising over £2000! As a result, we've been able to raise our overall annual goal to £4000.
The GoFundMe will remain open for the rest of the academic year.
We really appreciate every single donation and are so grateful for your support. Thank you.
The FSA 200 Club
The FSA 200 Club is a monthly lottery draw that is run by the Fitzharrys School Association (FSA) to raise money for Fitzharrys School, particularly for larger projects which will benefit the greatest number of students.
