What does FWIS mean in SCHOOLS

FWIS stands for Friends of Woodlands Infant School. We are a group of parents and staff who focus on supporting and promoting the school's activities and interests. Our aim is to provide a supportive environment for pupils, teachers and parents alike.

Becoming a member of FWIS is easy! You just need to be connected with the school in some way - such as being a parent, carer or teacher. You can either join by completing our online membership form or visiting us during an event at the school.

Your membership fee will help support all sorts of activities that happen at the school — from events and trips, to equipment funds and more! All money raised by members goes directly back into supporting the school.

We host regular meetings throughout the year where we discuss any upcoming fundraising events and plans for future projects. These meetings are open to all members with pre-meeting notifications sent out in advance.
