Kew College Friends
Kew College Friends (KCF) is a committee run by parents;
they fundraise for the School’s chosen charity, buy ‘extras’
for the children and organise social events for the school
community. There are many sub-committees so that the
wider parent body can get involved with each event. The
committee meets monthly and relies on the generosity of
parents to make it all happen. In recent years they have
supported - Sport for All , The Sick Children's Trust,
'Médicins sans Frontières', Just a Drop, Small Steps, RNIB,
Riding for the Disabled and GOSH. This year, the focus is
on The Alzheimer's Society. These pages will give you an
idea of some of the events over the past year.
Disco
KCF organise two discos for the
children in the Autumn Term.
They are always eagerly
anticipated and immensely
enjoyable. Separate discos are
held for the Infant House and the
Junior House (including Year 2 ).
The Infant House children are
entertained by Mr Marvel and his
magic show and enjoy dancing
and games. The Junior House
disco is a more sophisticated
affair, held on a Saturday evening
at the Barn Church, where the
82
School Fair
competitive dancing is taken to a
higher level. Girls and boys
compete for the title, ’Best
dancer’, and are entertained by
Pop Starz, whilst parents take a
break in a separate room to enjoy
a drink and a chat. It's definitely a
memorable evening for everyone.
Every summer KCF and numerous parent helpers set
up and host a magnificent summer fair. The children
enjoy a variety of exciting activities and incredibly
popular popcorn and candyfloss stalls! There is a lot to
entertain the adults too from the delicious Macken’s
sausages and burgers to the new addition of a
champagne bar. It is true to say, that this day is
months of hard work in the making, but is rewarded
with a fabulous outcome. Events like this add to the
wonderful family atmosphere and sense of community
that is our school.
