Friends of St Clement’s
Dear parent,
We are delighted and a little nervous, to be co Vice-chairing the
fundraising committee this year. Our first Friends meeting took
place on Tuesday evening after the AGM. Thanks to all those who
came along and if you couldn’t make it do remember that you
are automatically a member of the Friends of St Clement’s and
that you are ALWAYS WELCOME to join a meeting or speak to
your class rep with any thoughts/ideas that you have. We are a
mixture of parents that work together for the benefit of St.
Clement’s. Some are full-time parents, some work part-time or
work full-time. NONE of us are specialists in fundraising but by
pulling together the time we spend can be very rewarding for
those involved and most importantly for the children of St
Clement’s school. This year we are hoping to make a contribution
towards the final phase of the building work as well as additional
tablets and books for all classrooms. If you’re interested in
finding out what was discussed at our first meeting, the minutes
are available. We hope to start publishing these soon but for now
if you’d like a copy please email The friends.
Best wishes,
Jemma Harrison, Becky Cook and Alex Labbett

We will be updating our
facebook page regularly with
news, photos and
information about upcoming
events. It is a closed group
so anything posted will only
be seen by parents of St
Clement’s. If you would like
to be added to the group,
please email us at:

Put to good use…
We are aiming to make it as easy as
possible for you as parents to support
the Friends of St. Clement’s by
matching the work that we do to the
talents of our parents. We would like
to know a little bit more about the
work/skills of our parent community to
help us to do this. If you are
comfortable doing so, we would be very
grateful if you would complete the
parent talent form attached to this
Parentmail and send it back to us in
the ways described on the form. By
providing this information it would
help us to raise much needed funds in a
more efficient way.
Fireworks Update
Unfortunately it was confirmed this
week that we can not go ahead with the
school fireworks because of the proposed
development on the Salesian Fields. This
really is sad news for the children and
the budget but we have been looking at a
number of options to fill the gap and will
hopefully have better news to relay next
week. In the meantime please put the
following cake sales into your diaries:
• Friday 19th September – year 6
• Friday 3rd October – year 5
And talking of cake sales…..we would love
somebody to help co-ordinate the class
cake sales. The class get to spend the
money that they make, Year 6’s this week
is going towards a ‘Shakespearian
Experience’, so we really want to maximise
the potential. It could be a very rewarding
project if somebody has a little time to
spare and we would be truly grateful.
