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. We meet roughly once a term to hold an FSA meeting where we talk about fundraising ideas and plan events; meetings and events will be advertised on this page as well as on social media pages. For more information about joining the FSA or upcoming FSA events, you can contact the school's main office or send an email the FSA Secretary, Mrs Holt at sholt@fitzharrys.school
FUNDRAISING FOCUS 2023-24
Each year, the Fitzharrys School Association sets a fundraising target.
This year, the FSA set out to raise £5000 for lots more inspiring, modern and literature-themed Wall Art to update the interior of the Mathematics and MFL departments.
So far, over £5,700 has been raised! We are thrilled to have beaten our target. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our GoFundMe, everyone in the FSA 200 Club school lottery (see below for more details), and also to everyone who came along to support our events this year.
Last year, the FSA raised money for 8 wall art items for the English and the Humanities departments which were installed in early October and are now bringing the WOW factor to these areas - they have made a huge difference and are having a very positive impact on staff and students alike. We are working with the school on a plan to use the £5,700 raised this year to install phase 2 of wall art in the coming months, planned for the Maths and MFL department.
A big thank you to all the FSA supporters who have helped make this possible!

We will be launching a new GoFundMe in Sept/Oct 2024. Until then, if you would like to support the FSA, we would love to receive any donations on our existing GoFundMe (below). Thank you for all your support.
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.
