Welcome to the Friends of St Philip's!
The Friends of St Philip's is a registered charity created to raise funds for the children of St Philip's Catholic Primary School. All funds raised are used to support school projects and activities that further enrich the experience of our children and which the children, their families and our school community can enjoy.
News & Updates
Thanks to your enthusiasm, generosity, and unwavering support, we’re delighted to share that our three major events in the Autumn term raised an amazing total of £17,855!
This achievement reflects not only the hard work of our volunteers but also the fantastic spirit that runs throughout our school family.
Whether you volunteered, attended, donated, organised or simply cheered us on, we’re deeply grateful. Every contribution - big or small - has helped make this term such a success and the positive impact on our children’s school experience will be felt this year and for years to come.
Thank you for being such a supportive community. We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together next!

How Funds Will be Distributed

Thanks to your incredible generosity, the funds raised so far this year will allow us to invest meaningfully across the whole school community via the following avenues:
- Enhanced classroom technology for both pupils and teachers, supporting the digital literacy curriculum and ensuring our children continue to develop the skills they need in an increasingly digital world.
- Increased classroom support across all year groups for the full academic year.
- Continued investment in our school choir, enabling more opportunities for musical development, performance and enrichment.
- Additional wellbeing and emotional support, ensuring children have access to the care and guidance they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
- Support for ad hoc requests that benefit the whole school community. For example, during our recent Spirituality Day, the Friends funded an immersive bubble workshop — a wonderful experience that the children thoroughly enjoyed and will remember for a long time.
As more money is raised throughout the reminder of the school year, The Friends will continue to work with the school to identify further opportunities for investment.
