Welcome to the Friends Page

As soon as your child starts at Cedar Park School, you will automatically become part of “Friends”. Along with school staff and leadership, we work to:

a) Enrich the time our children spend at school,

b) Foster strong relationships among members, whilst increasing their understanding of the aims and work of the school,

c) Provide amenities and opportunities not otherwise available to the school, through enjoyable and organised fundraising events.

Over the past few years, Friends have raised thousands of pounds and purchased many items to enhance the education of our children, including computer and music equipment, picnic benches, science resources, interactive whiteboards and lunchtime games.

In addition, they have funded the website set-up and updates and transport for school trips. They contributed £23,000 to the School Swimming Pool project, have funded the adventure trail, plus the refurbishment of the School’s art room and kitchen.

Investment has also been given to the wonderful Forest School area, the Sensory Room and other opportunities such as learning apps. and concrete resources. These will benefit our children and future pupils for many years to come.

Current long-term projects include OPAL, which is a very exciting concept designed to enhance the children's outdoor play and learning experience. Shorter term, Friends are investing in the school library with a new catalogue system, along with physical resources and also the wonderful make-over which is happening behind the cookery room to create a garden area where children can grow and learn about their own food, with real hands-on education.

Friends is not just about fundraising though. There is a social side to our events and we feel that bringing the parents, children and school together is just as important! It is this that helps to create the wonderful sense of community in our school and makes being a parent at Cedar Park such a pleasure.

We hope that everyone who comes to the school will consider themselves a part of “Friends” and support the events that are organised. We hold regular informal fundraising meetings and everyone is always welcome. Just turn up whenever you are able to and you can be assured that your ideas, support and skills will be welcomed and appreciated, whatever level of commitment you can offer.

Some of our events planned for the coming months include;

Children's Disco
