Friends of SPW

Friends of St Pauls Way School (FoSPW) was formed in September 2024 with a vision to celebrate the diverse community in Tower Hamlets, build a parent teacher partnership to support the educational experience of our children.

Our Vision

  3. Raise funds for projects and opportunities that may not otherwise be possible.

Our Goals 

  1. Build relationships between SPWFS staff, carers, parents and children through networking opportunities and regular meet ups
  2. Create partnerships with external third party vendors to contribute to the children’s experience at school 
  3. Establish additional communication channels and platform for parents and carers to have a voice in the education of their child 
  4. Organise regular social events for everyone to meet, get acquainted and have fun
