The events that bring everyone together
Throughout the year Kingsley Friends organises events where students and their families can get involved and celebrate being part of the school community, along with social events where parents and staff can get to know each other outside school.
The Bonfire Night Laser Show
The Christmas Fayre
The May Fayre
Social gatherings for parents and staff through the year
A well-stocked second-hand uniform shop, made possible by the generosity of Kingsley parents
The extras that make school life richer
The money raised pays for projects beyond the everyday expectations of school life, adding to the welfare, happiness and enjoyment of our students. Recently, Kingsley Friends has funded:
Musical instruments
Christmas parties and presents for Prep children
VR headsets and Lego Spike kits for the Senior STEM pathway
Thousands of pounds towards initiatives in the Earth Centre
Contributions to sport, the arts and outdoor education
There is never any pressure to commit to anything
Everything Kingsley Friends does is run by volunteers, and new faces are always welcome. If you can spare a little time to help at one of our events, the team would love to hear from you. It is a lovely way to meet other families and support the school community.
You are very welcome to join us at a meeting or coffee morning to learn more, or email the PTA at pta@kingsleydevon.com.
