Friends of Worth
The Friends of Worth (FoW) is a parent organisation that aims to foster and encourage the community spirit and Benedictine values which are at the heart of Worth. All current parents are members unless they specifically elect not to be.
Friends of Worth is dedicated to supporting Worth School by:
- Welcoming new parents to Worth
- Putting on events where parents can meet and get to know each other
- Providing opportunities for parents to meet staff and members of the monastic community on an informal basis
- Raising funds for extras for the school
Parents subscribe £10 per family per term to FoW which is used to fund social events and, with other funds raised, allows FoW to purchase extras for the school which enhance the life of the students. Each house has FoW House Reps. They are available to provide new parents with any information they may require.
Regular events
- New Parents’ Supper in September
- Coffee after Family Mass on the first Sunday of each term
- Refreshments before the Carol Service in December
- Burns Night Supper in January
- Drinks reception on Speech Day
- A Summer Ball every two years
In addition, your House Reps arrange many house events including lunches, drinks receptions, curry & quiz evenings, summer barbecues and family days.
