Welcome to Our School Community
Welcome to Heathbrook Primary School. We are delighted to welcome you and your family.
Friends of Heathbrook Primary (FOHP) is the school’s parent community organisation and PTA. We work in partnership with the school to strengthen community life, create opportunities for children, and support learning experiences beyond the classroom.
Every parent and carer at Heathbrook is automatically part of FOHP.
There is no sign-up process — FOHP represents the whole parent community.
Our Purpose
FOHP exists to:
- Create enriching experiences for children
- Support learning, wellbeing, and development
- Build strong relationships between families and the school
- Turn parent involvement into real opportunities for pupils
We fund more than resources — we create experiences and memories.
Teachers’ School Wish List – Highest Priority
This is FOHP’s highest-impact fundraising priority.
The Teachers’ School Wish List is created directly by staff and school leaders.
It reflects what children need most to support learning, enrichment, wellbeing, and school experiences.
