Ingatestone Infant School

If you did your homework and read the school prospectus, you will know that the school’s League of Friends originates from a group of parents in the academic year of 1993/94.

Membership is FREE and AUTOMATIC!

Hello from us, we want to invite you all to participate and get involved. 

Our primary aim is to raise funds which can be used towards school activities and equipment that would not have been available through other funding channels. In recent years we have been able to purchase new reading books, provide funding for additional teaching during the pandemic and most recently the pupil road signs to mark the zig zag lines. LoF also funds activities such as the end of year leavers party, refreshments for country dancing, easter egg hunts, and theatre trips.

Easy ways for you to get involved are:

• Visit us on social media - share, like and comment on our content.

• Sign up for the school’s monthly lottery - LoF receives 40% of all ticket proceeds and you’re in with a chance of winning cash prizes.

The children were delighted when they got a visit from the Easter Bunny.  Our hopping friend wished the children a Happy Easter and the children were delighted with a hunt for a easter egg!
