Friends of Tranby

The Friends of Tranby (FoT) is a group of Tranby Senior and Prep parents, alumni and staff. 

Our role is to encourage closer links between home and School. The FoT are best known for our fundraising work, but we also have a useful social function too, as our fundraising events provide an opportunity for parents, carers, staff and pupils to get together.

Get Involved

The Friends have funded a new mini bus, sports equipment, nursery equipment, extra-curricular club materials and author visits. They have also contributed over £14,000 towards the new sports pavilion which opened in March 2017. In September 2017, £14,000 was invested into a Senior School gym and spinning studio.

These additional goods and services would not have been made available without the hard work of The Friends and support of the whole School community.

Christmas Fair - Saturday 4 December 2021

Thank you to the Friends of Tranby who organised our Christmas Fair. The day was filled with Christmas festivities including a visit from Father Christmas who was kept very busy meeting children in his grotto. The School choir sang carols and pupils in Prep entertained everyone on stage with songs in the Radcliffe Hall. The Bake Off was a huge success with so many entries of amazing cakes which filled the whole table. 

We raised £3,500! Friends of Tranby would like to thank all raffle sponsors, stall holders, staff, pupils, parents, grandparents, visitors and any helpers for making it such an amazing day. 

If anyone after Christmas has any spare decorations or hamper baskets they do not want please donate to the Friends of Tranby.

Next year’s Christmas Fair will be held on Saturday 3 December.

Phoenix Ball - Saturday 13 November 2021

Last month the Friends of Tranby hosted the Phoenix Ball in the Radcliffe Hall. Parents and staff dressed to impress and danced the night away to live music and a disco. It was a perfect evening and together we raised £2,400 to help fund a new minibus to allow the school to take our children to forest school, sports fixtures, field trips and many more adventures and also to provide little extras for the pupils of the school: enhancing their learning and their learning environment.

The committee would like to thank everyone who helped make the night so special and a big thanks to Michael and his catering team for providing a delicious 4 course meal. 

The Picnic in the Park - September 2021

A huge thank you to the Friends of Tranby for organising Saturday's Picnic in the Park. It was fantastic to be back together again as a school community. Everyone had lots of fun, games and laughter in the sunshine. A perfect start to the new school year.
