Friends of Crown House (FOCH)

Friends of Crown House (FOCH)

The Friends of Crown House (FOCH) play a central role in our school community, providing a valuable link between pupils, families and staff and helping everyone to feel part of life at Crown House.

All parents automatically become members of FOCH when they join the school and there are many different ways to get involved. Throughout the year, FOCH organise a wide range of social events, celebrations and fundraising activities, bringing children and families together while supporting the school and our wider community.

Regular events and activities include:

  • Festive celebrations and children’s Christmas activities
  • School discos
  • Quiz nights and parent social events
  • Make the Rules Day
  • Book swaps
  • Charity events and collections
  • Pre-Loved Uniform Sales
  • Our Summer Fete

Fundraising is an important part of FOCH’s work, with money raised used to support projects and opportunities that enrich school life for our pupils. Just as importantly, FOCH helps to create the strong sense of community and belonging that we value so highly at Crown House.

Parent Representatives

Each year group is supported by one or two Parent Representatives who help families connect with one another, welcome new parents into the school community and provide an informal link between parents and the school.

Our Parent Representatives meet with the Headteacher each term to discuss school development, share feedback from families and explore new ideas. This ensures that parent voice forms an important part of our ongoing development while strengthening the partnership between home and school.

Whether volunteering at an event, attending a celebration, supporting a fundraising initiative or simply joining in, every family is encouraged to be part of our vibrant Crown House community.

"Leaders give priority to developing pupils’ self-awareness. This is constantly reinforced through reference to the school’s learning values and virtues as well as through a positive partnership with parents. Pupils’ self-esteem is reinforced through celebration assemblies, and the school actively tracks pupils’ rewards to ensure no-one is overlooked when celebrating achievements."
