Friends Of Longstone SchoolLIKE the FOLS Facebook page for up to date info on events and meetings.
FOLS is the Friends Association here at Longstone School. This might include parents, teachers, grandparents and members of the community. We raise funds by organising regular events, both in and out of school. The monies raised from these events are used to fund activities, equipment and special experiences, to support and enhance the learning of your children. UPCOMING EVENTS WITH FOLSThe Great Longstone Elf Trail 2021
The Great Longstone Elf Trail begins 16th December and will run through to Boxing Day. Larry the Longstone Elf has hidden letters all over the village. Can you find them and work out what Larry's trying to say? There's a reward to be collected at The White Lion pub for all of you who can crack the code! Elf Trail instructions and map have just been emailed out those families who have signed up. If you still want to take part, please email us at folsinfo@gmail.com. 
Social Events For Children And Families
Children love getting together out of school hours, so we plan a range of events during the year including a Summer Sizzle, Easter egg hunts and Activities, Quiz Nights, Winter Disco and Christmas Bazaar to name but a few. Fundraising
The school is always under pressure to provide an ever widening range of extra curricular activities and there is a constant need to enrich the resources available to all children. Over time, FOLS has raised funds towards new outdoor play equipment, new IT equipment, a new kitchen, the school hall, a greenhouse and many more class-based resources such as books, maths games, wet play activities and sports equipment. We also support the school in contributing towards theatre, poetry and design workshops as well as trips to visit galleries or museums. As a Voluntary Aided Church School, the school community has to fund 10% of large building projects - in 2015 we finished raising £34,000 towards the redevelopment of the school building. Something we are very proud of and grateful to everyone who has supported this. Please see below for some of our upcoming and recent events. Recent EventsChristmas Film Night 2021
