Friends Of Ellistown Primary School

Would you like to be part of your child’s school?

Do you want to take part in some of our fundraising events or do you have ideas how fundraising for the school could be done?

Our next meeting will be on

Thursday 2nd October 2025 at 6:30 - 7:30pm 

There are lots of reasons you might want to get involved, here are five good ones:

Feel at home at school

Joining FEPS (Friends of Ellistown Primary School) makes it easy to get to know people at the school, from the headteacher and teachers, to other parents. If you're new to the school, you'll soon be walking in to the school playground or attending school events with confidence.

Have fun and get to know other parents

Events run by the FEPS are fun. Whether it’s a hectic disco for the pupils, the Summer Fair or a movie night, they are great for bringing the school together as a community. Teachers, parents and pupils alike get stuck in and enjoy themselves.

Understand how the school works

Being part of FEPS helps parents to understand how things in the school work.

Help the school be even better

Do you want your child's school to be brilliant? The experiences that the children have while at school include what’s run (and paid for) by the FEPS.

Be a good role model

There’s a lot of evidence to suggest that when parents are engaged in a school, a child’s attainment is improved. Being involved in school shows that you think it's important, could there be a more compelling reason to get involved?
