Fitzharrys School Association
The Fitzharrys School Association (FSA) is Fitzharrys' equivalent of a Parent Teacher Association (PTA), which exists to raise extra funds which will be used to support the work of the school. The FSA is run by a friendly committee of parents, carers and staff who plan social events and fun activities to raise money to go towards new school resources and to help improve facilities.
Why do we need to raise money?
The mission of the FSA is to raise funds to improve our children's educational opportunities and school experience. Fundraising allows Fitzharrys to continue to offer the 'extras' which are so important in a school and not covered by existing funds.
How can you get involved?
All parents, carers and staff are automatically members of the FSA and there is an open invitation to attend committee meetings. We are always very happy to welcome new faces to the committee and are very grateful for volunteers to help at events.
FUNDRAISING FOCUS 2025-26
Each year, the Fitzharrys School Association sets a fundraising target.
This year, the FSA is setting out to raise £5000 for a project to be confirmed very soon following discussions with the staff leadership team and student council. We will report back as soon as we have agreed plans.
Last year, the FSA raised funds for wall art items for the Maths and MFL departments. We were able to raise enough funds across the year to also commission wall art for Reception, and also the lobby by the Gym and Fitness Suite. These installations are now in situ, and are bringing the WOW factor to these key areas. They have made a huge difference and are having a very positive impact on staff and students alike.
A big thank you to all the FSA supporters!
GoFundMe 2024
Last year's GoFundMe was our most successful to date! We had planned to raise £750 this way with the aim of achieving 25% of our original fundraising goal of £3000 - our overall target for 2024-25. However, the staggering generosity of the Fitzharrys community saw the GoFundMe smash through its original target, raising over £2000!
A new GoFundMe for 2025, with fresh fundraising goals and aims, will be launched at the start of term 2, in November.
We really appreciate every single donation and are so grateful for your support. Thank you.
The FSA 200 Club
The FSA 200 Club is a monthly lottery draw that is run by the Fitzharrys School Association (FSA) to raise money for Fitzharrys School, particularly for larger projects which will benefit the greatest number of students.
