Coaley C of E Primary Academy is well supported by a very active "Friends" group.
The Friends of Coaley School (FOCS) was formed with the dual aim of providing close liaison between parents and school and to raise funds to buy extra items for school. Every parent of a child at school is automatically part of the Friends group.
It is very well supported, and the parents involved have, over the years, put in a great deal of effort to both increase parent/school understanding and raising money.
A whole range of events have raised thousands of pounds for use throughout the school. The biggest event is CoaleyFest, held in June.
FOCS has donated money to buy 20 i-Pads, protective cases and a secure storage/charging trolley. This resource has been invaluable to the learning of all pupils in the school. Most recently, FOCS have contributed a substantial amount towards a new playground for the children to enjoy.
The creation of a school allotment by FOCS has transformed an area of the school grounds and allowed the children to develop their gardening skills and their knowledge of healthy eating. There are further plans to extend this area into a 'Spiritual Garden' where children can grow things, marvel and reflect in peace.
