Friends of North Road school

North Road School has approximately 100 children and is situated in the heart of North Road within the parish of Iron Acton.

All parents with children at our school automatically become members of “The Friends”. We have a friendly committee of about 14 members, which include our Head Teacher Jo Williams. The aims of The Friends are to raise money for the school, whilst at the same time have fun and socialise! We meet every 6-8 weeks in our school hall where we discuss upcoming events and put ideas forward. We finish our meetings by retiring over to our local pub The Codrington Arms where we have few drinks together and come up with those ideas that at the time sound great but later we question why! Like the time someone suggested a few Mums get together and the run the Bristol Half Marathon... we did it, raised over £500... never again to be repeated!!

The projects we have funded in the past include a tyre play area, total Refurbishment of our school hall, new staging, wet playtime activity boxes, funding of coaches every year to the panto and many more! We have just ordered a traversing wall for the playground and the fund raising begins again for the next project!
