Friends of Crowmoor
The Friends of Crowmoor Primary are very active in fundraising to support the school which enables the school to provide opportunities for the children which they might not otherwise have. They regularly assist in subsidising school trips and activities, as well as purchasing equipment and resources for the school. If you would like to contact a member of the friends please speak to the office.
Who they are:

When your child starts at the school you and your family automatically become members of the Friends. They are always looking for new faces to join in helping with activities as well as introducing new fundraising ideas. All newcomers and ideas are welcome. Without the support of parents, carers and other family members the Friends wouldn’t exist. You do not have to be on the committee to help out, but support organising events or at events themselves is vital. This can be as a one off or at any event. Any help, big or small, is always appreciated.
Meetings are held at the school every month. Please ask at the office for further details or find the Friends on Facebook: Friends of Crowmoor Primary.
