Meet the FOWSA team

My name is Sue Sampson.  I have lived in Wistow since 1991 and I have worked at Wistow School since 1993.  Prior to this, I volunteered in school when my daughters attended.  As well as my classroom role in school, I am also the staff governor and have been for 16 years.  I have been a member of FOWSA for 25 years and with the new committee members we have welcomed this year, I am excited to see what amazing fund raising events we can plan and organise to help raise money to enhance and add to their already amazing opportunities that Wistow has to offer.

2024 - 2025

Easter Fair - Friday 28th March

The FOWSA Easter fair is always full of fun, smiles and chocolate! Our team stepped into action to pull together a fabulous fair and it was great to have to so many of you come and support the event and spend your money.

Thank you to all of you who donated chocolate and other items for the fair, we couldn't do these things without your support.

We are pleased to share with you, that the overall total raised was £ 1006!

A huge thank you to everyone involved in our growing FOWSA team, the Wistow staff and all our kind volunteers for their hard work, energy and enthusiasm.

FOWSA General Meeting - Thursday 13th February 2025

Annual AGM

Our annual AGM was a huge success, welcoming 6 new members to our team.  The meeting was buzzing with new ideas and a renewed focus to further develop our already busy schedule of fundraising events. The team are looking forward to discussing these ideas in more detail and making plans for upcoming events in the next general meeting, to be held at The Black Swan, 7.30pm, on Thursday 13th February.  All are welcome and we look forward to seeing more new faces.  Please come along and support the team in their ongoing work to provide experiences and recourses to benefit all pupils in Wistow School.

2023 - 2024

Welcome to the PTA 

If you have any spare time, you can help support the school by volunteering to help as a member of FOWSA.

FOWSA runs totally on volunteers and we help the school in a variety of ways. Over the course of the year we run different events to raise money for school, from fairs to competitions.

We have treated the children to trips, theatre visits, resources in class, a sensory lamp, books, the school website and much, much more. 

So please if you can help, the school would appreciate it. Speak to Mrs Sampson, Mrs Adams or Mr Bond if you would like to help in any way. 

Early Years, Key Stage 1 & 2 pupils had a great time on their Easter egg hunts this morning. They were all so pleased to see the Easter bunny, who heard our children are partial to chocolate and brought a few extra treats for them! It was lovely to welcome some of our prospective new starters to the event also. Thank you for coming and sharing in the fun!

HAPPY EASTER!

These were our winners for the decorate an egg competition, from Egg Sheeran to a ballerina egg, they were all unique and caught the judges eye! Well done to all who entered and every child has been awarded a prize.
