Our friendly FoLS team work hard to raise vital funds to help benefit children of all ages at Leavening School.
They are always looking for helpers who can spare some time and ideas to assist with fundraising events.
To avoid the need for handling cash, all FoLS future fundraising will be through the school’s ParentPay system. This means any monies raised will go through the school central bank account but purchases/spending will be overseen by the FoLS committee.
FoLS will also continue to lead and be closely involved in decisions and planning of school fundraising events.
Please do get in touch with school if you can help with any events or wish to attend any FoLS meetings.
Thanks for your support.

The current focus for our FoLS fundraising is: RockSteady.
We are delighted to be able to offer all school children the chance to be part of a highly sought after extra-curricular opportunity. ‘The sound of self-belief’ through fun, progressive and inclusive rock and pop band lessons in school.
Rock Steady is the leading provider of in-school band lessons and every child in reception-Year 6 will take part in weekly band sessions during the school day from December until the summer term. Each child will be able to choose whether they play the drum, electric guitar, keyboard or are a vocalist in a small group band. The sessions are delivered by professional musicians each week and you are able to sign up to a portal to track your child’s progress and discover the skills they are learning. Each term there will be a special concert held at school to celebrate. We believe this will enhance the rich music and performing curriculum we already offer at Leavening and enable our children to develop confidence, self esteem and skills beyond what the classroom can offer.
As a small school and with a generous donation from FoLS, we have been able to secure these lessons at a heavily subsidised cost to each pupil.
