A Heartfelt Thank You from the Friends Of Alveston
As the school year comes to a close, we want to extend a huge thank you to all of you for your ongoing support and for attending our FOA events throughout the year. Your generosity has helped us raise valuable funds — every penny of which goes directly back into enriching the experience of our children and strengthening our school community.
Thanks to your support, here are just some of the things we’ve been able to fund this year:
· A Christmas theatre experience for the children
· Festive events and Christmas presents for every pupil
· Year 6 leavers’ books to celebrate their journey
· Playground equipment and classroom extras
· Fun activities and treats during special school events
· Items funded by proceeds from our bake sales — including art supplies and additional learning resources
A Fond Farewell to Year 6
Today is also a bittersweet moment as we say goodbye to our wonderful Year 6 pupils. We wish them all the very best as they head off to their new high schools — we know they’ll continue to shine!
Looking Ahead to Next Year... We need you! Join Friends of Alveston Committee
We’re already busy planning some exciting events for the year ahead and are looking to welcome new members to our FOA committee.
What does joining the FOA involve?
Being part of the FOA (Friends of Alveston) is a fantastic way to get involved in school life. Committee members help plan and run fun events like discos, fairs, and cake sales, as well as share ideas for fundraising.
It’s flexible, sociable, and doesn’t require a big time commitment — whether you can spare an hour here and there or take on a more active role, your help is always appreciated. It’s also a great way to meet other parents and make a real, positive impact on our school.
Interested in getting involved or learning more?
We’d love to hear from you! Speak to any of our current members.
Thank you once again for your continued support.
Warm wishes,
The FOA Team
Road Safety & Active Travel Awards 2024/25
Warwickshire Road Safety Team recently hosted the second annual Safe and Active Schools Award Event recognising the outstanding achievements of primary schools in promoting road safety and active travel.
This year’s event brought together Safe and Active School Champions, pupils, road safety partners, and Warwickshire County Council colleagues to recognise and reward the incredible efforts being made to keep children safe and active on their journeys to and from schools. The event was bigger and better than the previous year, reflecting the growing enthusiasm and commitment from Warwickshire schools, pupils and partners.
A total of ten Long Service Awards were presented, alongside two Bronze, four Silver, four Gold, and 11 Platinum Awards, celebrating long-term commitment and exceptional contributions.
As part of the awards ceremony, an Active Travel Innovation Award went to Alveston Primary for our leadership in establishing and running bike buses.
While the school gates may be closing, the School Nursing Service remains accessible and ready to support children, young people, and families throughout the summer break.
Whether you need advice on health, wellbeing, or emotional support, we're just a call or click away. We hope you all enjoy a happy and healthy summer.
