Friends of Shirley Infant School

Friends of Shirley Infant School

We are a group of parents, staff and friends of the school who assist the school through fundraising and providing practical support.

FOSIS want everyone with an interest in the school and its pupils, be it teachers, parents, grandparents, carers, siblings, friends and neighbours to be included in its activities and always welcome new friends however much or little you want to get involved.

If you want to find out more about FOSIS or have a question about an upcoming event, then please email us at fosis@shirleyschools.co.uk.

Each term a parent forum meeting is held at the school and chaired by the headteacher, Cate Gregory. These meetings are attended by the class representatives. If you would like to feed anything back to the school, please provide information to your class representative who will raise it on your behalf at the next meeting.

Class Representatives

One of our key aims is to support the link between the school and home. Each class therefore has a number of parent representatives. Their important role involves supporting the parents / carers in their class, the class teacher and FOSIS. They are able to raise parents' views via a Parent Forum held with the teaching staff and have been known to arrange social events to enable parents to meet.

The class representatives for 2025/26 are;
