PTA: Friends of Walton Oak

Welcome to the Friends of Walton Oak

The Friends of Walton Oak (FOWO) is the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) of Walton Oak School. FOWO’s role is to help build a sense of community at Walton Oak and to help enrich the school experience of the children. We do this by organising various events such as discos, parent quiz nights, Break the Rules Mufit Day and the Christmas and Summer Fairs. We also run initiatives such as second-hand uniform and fancy-dress sales that aim to help school families – and encourage recycling!

Though not our primary focus, we do fundraise through our activities. We are a registered charity (charity number 801702) with the purpose of raising funds for items/experiences (big or small) that are of direct benefit to the children. In summer 2023, FOWO contributed £8k towards the refurbishment of the Early Years play area, funding a stream and water wall. Other recent funding examples include iPads for Key Stage One Children, anti-bullying workshops across the school, author visits, Christmas books and ties for Y2 children moving to Y3.

You can keep up with our activities by reading The Wire, following us on Facebook or joining the Classlist app. You are also welcome to come to the termly committee meeting in the school hall. This is open to all parents/carers and is a good way to find out more about FOWO's latest activities. Keep an eye on the calendar for dates.
