Friends Of Severn Vale
Who are FOSV?
You are!
Every parent or carer with a student at Severn Vale school is automatically a member of our PTA, Friends of Severn Vale School (FOSV), a charity set up for the benefit of Severn Vale School students.
While Severn Vale is a fantastic school with huge amounts going on in terms of educational and extra-curricular activities, FOSV are there to provide the extras which are not normally covered by school funding but which will enrich and enhance the experience of all Severn Vale pupils.
How can I help?
We would be delighted to have your financial support as we try to provide money for the extras. While we do run the occasional event, the PTA’s main methods of fundraising are ‘passive’, via grant applications, Easyfundraising, commission through the sale of Stikins labels’ and monies gained from Gloucester Lottery, details of each are below:
We’ve registered Friends Of Severn Vale School - with easyfundraising, which mean’s that we gain a small percentage when you use certain websites to shop online.
