Parley First School

Partners of Parley School   

Who are POPS?

Parents of all pupils are automatically members of POPS as are all members of staff and the governing body.  Membership can also be extended to include the wider family circle and members of the local community. We are a registered charity.

POPS  supports the school in a variety of practical ways.  Many volunteers help in classrooms each week.  Other volunteers help to maintain the environmental areas in the school grounds. 

Fundraising activities feature highly in POPS’ calendar.  

The Christmas Fair, sponsored events and Children’s Discos are among the most successful fund raising activities. Each financial year the POPS donate several thousands of pounds to school funds, which is used to purchase equipment, and to help with the development of the environment.    

Items previously donated to the school by the POPS include: white boards, playground benches and playground equipment, books, art and craft materials and many other resources to enrich the opportunities for the children. 

POPS meetings are held at least twice a term, and parents who opt to become officers of the committee, plan and organise events.

Further details about POPS can be obtained from the school or by contacting committee members on pops@parley.dorset.sch.uk

The 200 Club is our own school lottery. You pay £1 or more and you will be entered into a draw each month with three chances to win! Each month, three numbers are drawn at random and the prize money increases the more players there are. If 200 people play each month the 1^st Prize is £50.00, 2nd Prize is £30.00 and 3^rd Prize is £20.00.

Each £1 will be allocated a number so the more numbers you have the more chances of winning! You can pay by Bankers Standing Order or if you prefer, you can pay annually by cheque.

P.O.P.s was formed about ten years ago to provide financial support to the School. In that time your donations have provided over £35,000 of equipment for the School. Computers, books, play equipment, PE & Art equipment, interactive whiteboards, maths games and much more.

The 200 Club is a great way to raise funds and win some money!
