Friends of SToC

All parents and carers with a child attending St Thomas of Canterbury are automatically members of the Friends of St Thomas of Canterbury group - (Friends of SToC for short). The group exists to support the work of the school for the benefit of the children and local community.

What do we do?

Fundraising is one of our main objectives and the money raised goes towards buying resources for the school. We also like to organise events for the children and fun nights out just for the parents.

Got an idea for a fun event? Please let us know......

We are a newly formed team and plan to hold quiz nights, bingo nights, cinema nights, race nights and also assist with the Christmas and Summer fairs.

How can you get involved?

We currently hold regular fortnightly meetings and you are welcome to join any of these - please see the school diary for the date of the next meeting.

There are lots of ways for you to be involved, you can take on a formal role, such as a class representative or organise a specific project liaising with the School. You can make a difference by running coffee morning's or a stall at an event, by donating, volunteering to help out, or by just turning up and enjoying an event. The decision is yours, but every bit of help counts and it will be an opportunity to get involved, meet new people and help your local community - whilst having fun as well!
