Friends of Thornton School

A warm welcome to parents, caregivers and Friends of Thornton School (FOTs) 

Welcome to the Friends of Thornton section of Thornton in Craven Primary School's website. All parents are automatically members of the Friends of Thornton School (FOTs).  

We in the FOTs organise events to raise money for the school.  We have some very dedicated members who meet on a regular basis to arrange events such as the Summer Fair, disco’s and other activities.  We are always looking for new ideas of events that we can organise and also new members to join FOTs, so if you have any ideas then either send them into school or come along to our next meeting usually held at The Tempest, Elslack  - the date and time are advertised on our Friends of Thornton Facebook page.  

Our FOTs is about much more than simply fundraising.  The FOTs exists to provide closer links between home and school, and it is an excellent way to bring staff and parents together socially in support of the school.   

How can I help? There are so many ways you can help here are some examples 

• Sell raffle tickets 

• Donate raffle prizes

Who can help? We are lucky to have involvement from not only parents (both mums and dads) but grandparents and friends.
