ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Established in 2002, The Friends Of Nettlebed School (FONS – registered charity no. 1091177) is the parent body responsible for raising funds to help support learning and development at Nettlebed Community School. Our aim is “to work together to promote a strong sense of school community while simultaneously raising funds which will be used to enhance every child’s experience at Nettlebed”.

Although all parents at the school are part of FONS, it is run by a small, committed group of parent volunteers who always welcome the support and involvement of others to deliver our goals. We work hard to bring together the school, families, staff and local community to promote a real sense of school community, fun and achievement.

As a group of running mums we were keen to establish a 10km run as it will hopefully not only bring funds to the school but will also promote and encourage a healthy, active lifestyle which is so important in today’s often sedentary life. It may even inspire some of our children (who will be helping out on the course) to become avid runners too!
