Friends of Broadway

The Friends of Broadway Infants are a vibrant team aiming to advance the education of the children in the school through fundraising but at the same time having lots of fun! We welcome the support of parents, carers, teachers and anyone else interested in helping out any way, shape or form.

As a registered charity, the money raised by the Friends goes towards purchasing exciting equipment for the school children to use. In the past funds have been used to buy iPads, outdoor equipment, interactive whiteboards along with many other items.

During the academic year we will arrange a variety of social events both for children and adults to participate in. Some of the successful events include the Christmas Fayre, School Discos and cakes sales. We also jointly run the amazing Summer fayre with Ridge Juniors. We are always looking for more willing helpers and are open to new suggestions. Any help is appreciated.

If you would like to help with our future events or would like some more information please get in touch with a member of the Committee or come to the school office. Please click on link below and ‘Like’ our Facebook page to keep up to date with our upcoming meetings and events.

A message from our Chair– Vanessa Atkinson:

I have been a part of the Friends of Broadway since my eldest child, now at the Ridge started in reception in 2017. I am so glad I did! Being a part of the Friends has helped me get to know other parents, school staff and feel a part of the wider school community. I also think it really helped my children to settle in the school. Particularly my youngest who started in 2021, she wasn’t fazed at all as had already spent time helping with setting up fayres and running cake sales- maybe sampling the produce a bit too much!

We really are a nice group that only want to put on the best events for the kids that we can and to help improve the resources in school. So please get in contact if you can spare anytime at all to help us. Most importantly of all please come along to the events we organise. Spend a few pennies, get to know other families, and have some fun!!!

Best wishes

Vanessa
