As this year draws to a close, the FODS team wanted to say a massive thank you to all involved in raising a fantastic amount of money for our school.
Some of the committee will be stepping down at the AGM in September after many years of tenure. This will be a fabulous opportunity for others to join. Please do consider getting involved whether you are new to the school community or have been with DPS for a little while. All super welcome!
Being part of the committee is a lovely way of getting to know the school better, being really involved and having your say in the FODS events, learning new skills and making friends for life!
All positions are re-elected each year and the positions where the current post holder will not be standing for re-election in September are Secretary, Treasurer and Events Lead. These roles can be carried out by an individual or by a team of 2 or more.
More information on some of the committee roles can be found here:

All the current committee members are available on email at dorchesterpta@gmail.com to discuss their roles and answer any of your questions.
We're so excited to announce that the Summer Fair raised an amazing £2900! What an incredible amount raised for the school, especially considering we had a very wet start to the fair! A massive thank you once again to all involved & everyone who came along on the day. We hope everyone has a lovely Summer, watch this space for all the exciting events once we’re back in September!
