E. Primary School. Forest Friends is one way to be involved in school life and raise funds for the children and school. Our PTA works with the local community to enhance the opportunities that the children at Forest & Sandridge are provided with. Forest Friends supports the school and children’s learning in a variety of ways, such as subsidising school trips, organising fun events, and helping update the school’s resources. Forest Friends is a dedicated group that works to give the children the best possible start to their lives and education. Forest Friends does this by working closely with all members of the school and wider community. Forest Friends values the contributions of every individual and works closely with the school to achieve their aspirations for the children and the PTA. --- By becoming a member of our Forest Friends team you will be expected to model our school values. Our values booklet explains in more detail what this entails. ### Forest Friends Forest Friends Values Booklet 539 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/forest-sandridge-cofe-primary/files/documents/Values-booklet-PTA.pdf) --- ### Events If you would like further details of any of our events or fundraising activities please follow us on twitter [@ForestFriends\_](https://twitter.com/ForestFriends_) or see our [Forest Friends Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/FFMelksham/).
