The Friends of Aldro

Become part of our Aldro community

Aldro has a thriving parents’ association, the Friends of Aldro Association (FOAA) which organises social and charitable events for parents, staff and pupils at the school.  It is a particularly great way to help welcome new parents to the school.

In a typical year the FOAA hosts a wide range of social events some of which are fundraising for charity or the school.  A typical annual programme would be as follows:

Christmas Term

  • Welcome Drinks party in September for all parents
  • Fireworks display with drinks and BBQ for pupils and their families
  • Winter Fair with gift stalls for adults and organised games and stalls for the children
  • Friends of Aldro Walks

Lent Term

  • Quiz Night with supper
  • Mufti day with a theme
  • Friends of Aldro Walks

Summer Term

  • Regatta fete  - afternoon tea for families and games for the children
  • Summer Ball - approximately every three years
  • Friends of Aldro Walks

Recent projects funded by the FOAA include the purchase of new cassocks for the choir, a Bell Tent used for outdoor learning, Roman Armour, K-nex set for DT, 4 x lego programming sets and a football table for the CMM.

The FOAA committee meets at least twice a term and is made up of:

  • Chairpersons – Sophie Bickerton and Shevaun Leach
  • Secretary - Shevaun Leach
  • Treasurer – Karen Davison
  • Form Representatives from each form in the School
  • Nicky Carlier,  Headmaster's wife
  • Katie Spicer, Head of Marketing

There are no formal elections for any of the committee positions. The posts of Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer are held for a minimum 2 years and maximum of 3 years. The normal term of office for a Form Representative is one academic year (September to July).

If you are interested in getting involved with the FOAA please contact the Chairpersons via Aldro’s school office.
