The Friends of Leehurst Swan (FOLS) is our parent community group, bringing families together and supporting school life beyond the classroom. Made up of parents and carers from across the school, FOLS plays an important role in strengthening connections within the Leehurst Swan community.

Throughout the year, FOLS organises a range of social and fundraising events. Funds raised are fed directly back into Leehurst Swan School, helping to support projects and activities that benefit pupils across the school. Alongside this, FOLS also runs the popular weekly second-hand uniform shop.

2nd Hand Uniform Shop

The weekly second-hand uniform shop is a valued part of school life at Leehurst Swan School, offering parents an affordable and sustainable way to buy and pass on uniform items in good condition. It helps families reduce costs, makes it easy to replace outgrown items, and supports a more environmentally friendly approach to school uniform. The shop is run entirely by a dedicated team of parent volunteers, whose time, organisation and goodwill make it possible. Their efforts are greatly appreciated and provide a practical benefit to families across the school community.

School Logo Dry Robes

FOLS have organised school branded dryrobes. There is no expectation for the children to have one as it’s not part of the uniform - it is an optional item. However anyone wishing to order one can do so via the instructions below. Pupils who do have a Leehurst Swan dryrobe are welcome to wear it for Games and PE, particularly for outdoor activities, fixtures and colder weather. FOLS do not make a profit off the robes but are just facilitating the purchase.  We aim to order twice a year, we are thinking or September and January (more if needed).

How to order

Please email FOLS (friendsleehurst@outlook.com) with your order details, including size and initials / name for the robe.  FOLS will collect the orders and when we are ready to send it though we will ask for a bank transfer to the FOLS account. The order will take 3-5 weeks to arrive.

Events

In November 2025, parents hosted Leehurst Swan’s first-ever fireworks evening, which was a huge success. With an excellent turnout from both the school and the wider local community, the event created a wonderful atmosphere, raised significant funds for the school, and helped raise Leehurst Swan’s profile locally. With food, drinks and toys on sale, it was a memorable evening that truly brought the school community together.

Some of the events we run are:

  • Fireworks (November)
  • Christmas fayre (November)
  • Christmas draw (December)
  • Spring fayre (March)
  • Summer fete refreshments (June)
  • Parent coffee mornings (1 per term)
  • Movie nights/ quiz nights/ parents' ball (ad hoc)

Communications

Communication is kept friendly and accessible. FOLS shares updates and information via its Facebook page and through year group WhatsApp communications, helping parents stay informed and involved in upcoming events and opportunities to help. The Facebook page is FoLS on Facebook

All parents and carers are very welcome to engage with FOLS in whatever way suits them, whether that is attending events, volunteering occasionally, or simply staying connected. If you would like to get in touch, the best email address is: FriendsLeehurst@outlook.com
