Everybody loves a pie and pea supper...especially after a hard week!

On Friday 4th July, Friends of Southfield are holding a very special evening of dancing, eating, drinking and games at Armthorpe Community Centre from 7pm - 11pm.

The evening will be to raise funds for Southfield's 30th birthday party which will be held in September.

Please come along and invite family and friends (over 18's only); the more the merrier! Tickets are £5.00 and can be bought from Mrs Lee in reception.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Activities

We hold half termly meetings, usually in the community room, where we discuss forthcoming events and ideas.

We hold annual Family Fun themed picnics along with our Summer Fayre. Our last two themes have been Carribbean and American Independence Day. Click on the link to see more pictures of our fabulous Summer Fayre!

In addition, we run a Christmas Fayre, School Discos and use outside providers like nurseries who provide planters and hanging baskets for us to sell through school.

Where do our funds go?

We are really proud of the variety of items that we have purchased.

How do we choose what we spend the money on?

First and foremost, it is important to understand that all the money we raise is raised by the school for the school. Secondly, the way we spend the money is a direct result of discussion with the staff and the school council. As a team we then decide the best way to spend our funds in a way that means the most to the whole school.
