SPLAT (Shamblehurst Parents, Learners and Teachers), formally known as FOSSA (Friends of Shamblehurst School Association), is a friendly group of Shamblehurst parents who organise fundraising for the school. We are assisted by friends, family, school staff and our local community and businesses. Money raised by SPLAT purchases the extra items that make a big difference to your child’s experience and education during their time at Shamblehurst.
We also run fun events for the children. There is a disco three times a year, and an annual film night. We run shops for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day where the children enjoy carefully choosing a present for mum and dad. We organise the Summer Fair which is always a fun day and greatly enjoyed by all.
SPLAT is committee run, with officers elected every year at our AGM in October. We have a constitution, which is a set of rules we follow. The committee oversee the organising of events to make sure they run smoothly. The SPLAT committee meets up regularly to brainstorm and plan what we can do to raise money for the school. We need new faces and fresh ideas to work with us organising events throughout the year. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in joining the committee.
