About Friends of Kenninghall Primary School

Meet the Kenninghall Friends: Learn What We Do and How You Can Be Part of It.

Kenninghall Friends is a volunteer-led charitable group that supports Kenninghall Primary School by strengthening links between the school, families and the wider community. We raise funds to provide enrichment opportunities, equipment and experiences that enhance children’s time at school and create lasting memories. Alongside this, we help bring people together through events and activities that support teachers and build a strong, connected school community.

All families and members of the local communities are warmly encouraged to get involved. Whether you choose to volunteer with the Friends, attend fundraising events during the year or simply help spread the word, we welcome any support you are able to offer.

What we do 

Alongside volunteering in school, supporting staff and helping bring families and the wider community together, we run various fun activities for the children, including parties, discos, an Easter egg hunt and bake sales, as well as our much-loved annual spring fête. We also organise bigger fundraising events throughout the year. Please check our upcoming events page to see what’s coming up over the next few months.

Our fundraising events help pay for a wide range of experiences and resources for the children. We provide book bags and phonics cards for all new Reception starters, and we organise a special end of year celebration for the whole school and their families which includes a dedicated Year 6 leavers party, with goodie bags, and hoodies to commemorate their time at Kenninghall Primary School.

We also cover transport costs for major annual trips, such as the Christmas pantomime and a whole-school visit to Bewilderwood, and contribute towards the cost of class field trips.
