Friends of Battle Abbey School
The FOBAS Committee is a group of parents from the Nursery, Prep and Senior School who meet once or twice per term, and help organise a variety of fundraising and social events at both the Senior and Prep School. The money raised during these events is used to fund items and projects that do not fall under existing educational or facilities budgets, and benefit current children at the Nursery, Prep and/or Senior School.
Recent projects that have been funded by FOBAS include:
- The STEAM Engineering Hub
- Games & PS4 for the Boarding Houses
- French Theatre for MFL Department
- Commedia dell’Arte Masks, Lighting & Sound Equipment for the Drama & Tech Department
- Equipment for Duke of Edinburgh Expeditions
- Science Ambassadors for the Prep School
- STEM LEGO Robots for the Prep School
- Lightbox for Art Department
- Organ Restoration Appeal
- Speaker for PSHE Mental Health Week
FOBAS meetings for this academic year (2020-21) will be held via Zoom. If you would like to join, please email: fobas@battleabbeyschool.com
Sadly, all social and fundraising events that have been planned for the 2020-2021 academic year are currently on hold. However, we hope to hold a school-wide raffle to be drawn just before Christmas. In the meantime, people can still support FOBAS via Easyfundraising.
