Supporting Our School Community

Friends of Gelliswick is a dedicated group of parents, carers, staff, and community members working together to support Gelliswick CiW VC Primary School. Our mission is to enrich the educational experience of every child by raising funds, organising events, and fostering a strong sense of community.

We help provide resources and opportunities that go beyond the classroom—whether it's funding new equipment, supporting school trips, or hosting fun, inclusive events for families. Every penny we raise goes directly back into the school to benefit pupils and enhance their learning environment.

We believe that when families and schools work together, amazing things happen. Whether you're able to volunteer your time, share ideas, or simply attend an event, you're helping make Gelliswick a vibrant and supportive place for all.

Together, we make a difference.
