“I want to help but can’t, I don’t have the time.”
  • Like everything in life it’s about priorities! We all have busy lives, but if you want to help and really can’t spare the time then we ask that you at least join the 100 club and purchase your online shopping via our website:


“I can’t volunteer on a regular basis – I have other commitments.”
  • It doesn’t matter – any help will be appreciated, there will always be a place for you. You don’t have to help on a regular basis.

“How much of my time will it take up?”
  • A committee member will only need to attend no more than two short meetings a term plus the AGM. 
  • An ‘occasional helper’ can do as little or as much as they want.

“Is FOV open to everyone?”
  • Yes – that is why all parents and staff are automatically members.

“Isn’t the PTA a clique full of the mums from junior school?”
  • No – we are just a group of parents who want to try to help enrich the education of all the children in the school, we are an open, friendly and diverse group of parents who care.

“What will FOV really do to help me and my children?”
  • Provide extra funds to buy equipment and benefit the whole school i.e. fund trips that your child/children might want to go on in the future.
  • Enhance your social life – you can have fun and make new friends as we run a number of social evenings including quiz nights throughout the year and it’s a chance for you to meet other parents.
  • Provide a vital link between parents and teachers.
  • FOV offers the opportunity to be actively involved in your child’s school, and get to know their World.

“ Has FOV made a difference Vyners?”
  • Yes!
  • With the help of parents, FOV have already raised over £200,000 since 1990.
  • FOV has paid out £25,000 in 100 Club prizes, so don’t forget to hand in your completed form to become a member of the FOV 100 Club to stand a chance of winning one of the monthly drawn prizes.
  • Supported modern, clean and safe minibuses that are used for school trips and sporting fixtures.
  • Supported the WI-FI network throughout the school.
  • Enabled the school to access additional specialist funds though matched funding, i.e. if the school raises £10,000 the external funder will match it.
  • Supported ‘Art’ & other projects around the school.
  • Supported the famous ‘Vyners School’ drama productions.
  • Funded equipment for the ‘Duke of Edinburghs’ Award scheme.
  • Provided refreshments at school events.
  • And much more, as well as making the world a slightly better place……….
