The Christmas Fayre is on Saturday 5th December from 12:00 at Ashley School, led by Rachel Briscoe (Squirrel and Otter) and Sophie Glass (Fox). They’re looking for helpers!

This year, anyone across the school can help in any area, rather than stalls being assigned to year groups. Bring a friend and help with the Fun Zone, Craft Room, Café, Photo Booth, Tombola, Entrance & Tokens and Glitter Tattoos. No experience needed.

See how to get involved and contact the Fayre team: https://www.thefriendsofashley.org/events/christmas-fayre-2026/

What class reps do

A link between school and families.

Class reps are volunteers who connect class teachers with parents and The Friends of Ashley (FOA) with each class group.

  • Pass on teacher messages, updates from The FOA and event reminders.
  • Help coordinate volunteers for class trips and share calls for helpers at The FOA's events.
  • Gather parent contact information and manage class collections for teacher gifts.
  • Organise social events for classes or year groups.

You don't need to summarise every school newsletter or email, and being a rep doesn't automatically mean leading a stall or event. School concerns should go directly to the school; reps aren't school staff or referees for disagreements in class groups.

Sharing responsibilities with other reps can make the role less time-intensive, but each class can choose how it works.
