The Friends of Dalton School (FODS) are a volunteer group of parents and staff at Dalton School who meet to arrange social and fund raising events throughout the year.  All parents can come to these meetings and are members of FODS.

Many of the parents who come did not know the other parents involved but are now good friends.  The meetings are happy and friendly occasions.

Events organsied ny FODS are not always about raising money- some are just social occasions, a chance to make new friends perhaps?

Over the last few years, more than £12,000 has been raised to improve the playground facilities for all the children.  This money has now been spent after discussion with the FODS committee and the School Council.

A train, train station and garage have appeared in one playground and a ball arena, ball chute, wobble board and a stage with seating have appeared in the other playground.

All funds raised by FODS are used to buy extra items for the school that the school budget could not afford.
