Friends of Sandown

Friends of Sandown is the name of the Sandown Parent Teacher Association (PTA).

The group allows everyone in the school community to get involved: mums, dads, carers, grandparents, aunts and uncles. We have support from the teachers and the community.

Together we share the same goal - to make the school experience better for every child.

We arrange fun events for the children and raise funds for the school. With stretched school budgets our help is even more important.

We appreciate any time you can give to help.

Wrap a Gift 2024

The elves are getting ready for the start of the festive season.

Wrap A Gift is an event that takes place during the school day between the 9th & 11th of December.

Children at school get the opportunity to purchase a maximum of two gifts (£3.50 per gift).

The elves help the children to wrap the gift and write a label, so it can be given to a loved one over the festive season.
