WHAT IS THE Farringtons Parents’ Association
The Farringtons Parents’ Association (FPA) is a vibrant network of parents dedicated to enriching the lives of our children at Farringtons. Through their tireless volunteer efforts, they organise exciting fundraising events throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
Imagine laughter-filled fun at our summer fair, the magic of our Christmas market, or the thrill of our spectacular fireworks night – these are just a taste of the events the FPA brings to life. In addition, they run a well-stocked uniform shop, offering new and pre-loved items to support families.
