Meet the Friends of Barrington Association (FoBA) Committee for 2025/26
Welcome to Barrington Primary School
Who are we and what do we do?
We are a team of dedicated parent volunteers, working hard to make Barrington an even better place for our children! We organise fun fundraising activities for the children’s enjoyment and to raise money for additional resources. To date we have helped to fund new IT equipment, books, school trips and more. We are also working on some exciting projects for the school year ahead!
How can you get involved?
We always welcome new members and are incredibly grateful for volunteers. Without your help, our events cannot happen! Perhaps you can spare an hour of your time to help at an event or maybe you have some great skills and connections we can utilise. Or alternatively you can simply support us by sharing your ideas and advice. Any help is always welcome! If you would like to join the committee or hear more about what we do, please reach out to one of our committee members or email us at fobacommittee@gmail.com.
