Fitzharrys School Association
The Fitzharrys School Association (FSA) is a charity run parents, staff and friends of Fitzharrys. Its mission is to raise extra funds which will be used to support the work of the school. The FSA committee plan social events and fun activities to raise money for new school resources and to help improve facilities.
Why do we need to raise money?
The money raised by the FSA improves 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 Association and there is an open invitation to attend committee meetings. Meetings are advertised by school email, in our newsletters, and on this web page (see drop down tab below). We are always very happy to welcome new faces and are very grateful for volunteers to help at events.
FUNDRAISING FOCUS 2025-26
Each year, the Fitzharrys School Association sets a fundraising target.
Following investment in recent years of 15 new picnic benches, a new projector in Main Hall, and the installation of several fantastic and transformative Wall Art designs inside the school, this year the FSA set out to raise £5000 to improve Fitzharrys' sports facilities, in particular our outdoor and indoor court surfaces. These surfaces are now in need of renewal to further improve the experience of our students during lessons and sports clubs, as well as the experience of members of the community who use the school sports facilities for a variety of activities. We hope that our fundraising focus on revitalising the school's sports facilities will enable Fitzharrys to grow revenue streams through increased numbers of community hires. These new, modern facilities will also be an asset for the local community as well as the school: through the development of these spaces, Fitzharrys can support a larger number and wider range of local community clubs and events.
A big thank you to all the FSA supporters for helping us achieve these goals!
GoFundMe 2025
Our GoFundMe for 2025-26 was launched with fresh fundraising goals. Initially, we were hoping to raise £1000 on GoFundMe, but due to all the very generous donations we have received so quickly from the amazing Fitzharrys community, we are overjoyed to be in a position to extend this goal to £2000 - and we are now 88% of the way there! We hope to reach £2000 by the end of the school year.
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.
