Who We Are
We are all parents of children at Badsworth School.
Why does FOBS exist?
We are very fortunate at our school that FOBS is, and has been for many
years, such an integral part of the school community. In its time FOBS has
raised thousands of pounds, which have been spent on improving equipment
and resources to enhance our children's education and the facilities in school
in general.
But FOBS is about much, much more than just fundraising. FOBS exists to
provide closer links between home and school, and it is an excellent way to
bring staff, parents and friends together socially in support of the school,
working towards a common goal. It is fun too - just ask any of the FOBS
committee members or helpers. Obviously as in any organisation, there are
times when it is more 'challenging', but with the continued support of parents
and staff, we have always succeeded in our efforts.
All parents and members of the school community can get involved if they
want to, even if they only have a small amount of time available, and all
parents are automatically members of FOBS when their children join our
school.
FOBS is extremely conscious of the ethos and morals of our school, and we
try very hard when organising and planning events to respect this. Not all of
our events are run with the sole purpose of raising funds. In fact, the majority
are run with the aim of giving the children a good time and as a way of
thanking families for their continued support.
