Friends of St Loys are a group of parents that have an interest in the well-being and future of St Loys. Friends meet once a term to discuss ways we can support the school. Our main aim is to organise school events and activities such as the Christmas Fair, Summer Fête, cake bakes, discos, BBQs, and other events that will capture the children’s imagination and create excitement whilst raising funds for the school.
Monies raised by our fundraising is used to help out the school by purchasing various items / equipment and paying for some activities for the children, e.g. IT equipment, new books for our Library, travel to and from the Christmas pantomime.
