Friends of Olney Infant Academy

We arrange a wide range of activities and events for children, parents and friends throughout the year with the aim of raising additional funds to buy items that the school would not normally be able to afford due to budget constraints. All profits go directly to the school.

FOOIA aims to support the social and educational development of children at the school. Typically, the money raised supports is used to enhance the school environment and purchase additional equipment. For example, funds support Book Week and Dinosaur day. Over the years we have purchased musical instruments, an audio system, new lighting, updated and enhanced the playground, ICT equipment and classroom resources.

In 2021 we supported a number of projects including buying new tablets and laptops, library books, and book bag books. We have allocated over £7k to be used toward year group trips and experiences and revamping the outdoor area in 2022.

FoOIA support is much appreciated by the school and the funds raised help to make the school an exciting and well-resourced place for our children to learn.
