The Friends of Wicklea are a group of parents and carers who get together to raise money for the school by organising events and fun activities. The money we raise is used to fund equipment and activities which benefit all the pupils at the school and supports the curriculum. We meet once or twice a term to plan new events and discuss past events. All are welcome and new ideas greatly received.
Previous purchases include the reading books for the library, games for wet play and a significant contribution towards the climbing equipment in the playground. We have also funded visits by authors.
In addition to running summer and Christmas fairs we have run fun events like school discos, quiz nights, cake sales and an after school cafe.

Hi! I have a daughter at Wicklea and a son who is excited to join Wicklea in September.
I also have an energetic two year old who keeps me busy and joins us at meetings.
The Friends are a great bunch and I enjoy making a difference.
The coffee and cake are good too!

Hi I’m Sam a mum of 3, I have a daughter at Wicklea Academy. I live in the local community.
I joined friends of Wicklea as I want to enrich my child and other children’s experience in education and their wellbeing.
In the past I helped at my children’s previous schools. I enjoy the friendly, welcoming atmosphere of the friends of Wicklea.
