Friends of WTLC

Who are we? 

Friends of WTLC is a group of parents who work alongside the academy and help to organise and run fundraising events for the academy community. All funds are spent either directly or indirectly on the children adding to their experience at school. 

What is our aim?

Our aim is to use the funds raised to enhance the experiences of every child in the school, from improving sporting facilities to extending the range and access students have to excellent reading material. 

Interested in joining us? When and where do we meet? 

Being part of the committee is not a huge commitment and it is very rewarding as well as a great way to meet other parents and have fun being involved in our fundraising events.

We usually meet once a term and would welcome new members to our friendly team. You may only wish to be involved with one event throughout the year or just come along to find out what is coming up. We welcome any ideas you may have for fundraising events or activities and suggestions on ways to spend money raised. Attending meetings isn't compulsory; you may wish to be a ‘friend of the friends’ and help out at events as and when you can. If you are interested in joining please get in touch and we will keep you up to date on upcoming events by email. 

How to contact us

Please email the school direct, and they will forward on your details: admin@deanerycofeacademy.org.uk
