Who we are
What we stand
for and why it matters
Friends of the Mead is the parent-teacher association for The Mead School. We are a volunteer-run group of parents, carers and staff who raise funds that directly enrich school life for every child.
Every penny we raise goes straight back into the school — from playground equipment and library books to whole-school arts days and experiences outside the curriculum.
Every child
Enrichment for all pupils, not just a few.
Community
Connections between families, staff and the wider town.
Transparency
Every pound tracked and reported back.
Ambition
We set high targets and meet them.
