We have a hardworking Friends of Thamesmead School (FoT) group which meets to discuss and co-ordinate supporting the school with various events and fundraising activities. They are an enthusiastic group of parents and local supporters who are keen to raise as much money as possible to help enhance Thamesmead students’ education experience. Parents are always welcome to get involved. The FoT meets either in school or at the Red Lion a couple of times per term.
