FOSP events

We will keep updating this page with our events for the year. Some of the dates will need to be TBC as they will rely on external factors, but we will do our best to confirm them as soon as possible.

If you want to get involved in any of these events, then just get in touch. It might be you help run the bar for an hour at Inflatables Day, support the Father’s Day stall for one lunchtime in school, or put up some posters to advertise an event.

With future events, we are always looking for support in having prizes donated, match funding or time actually organising or setting up an event.  You don’t have to be on the committee to help and you won’t even need to attend any meetings if you don’t want to!

Inflatables Day

Inflatables Day Postponed

Due to low sales of tickets, low volunteer numbers and poor weather forecasted for Sunday we have made the difficult decision to postpone Inflatables Day.

Tickets already bought will be valid at the rescheduled event. Alternatively, Giggle City will be in touch with you directly via email about other events they can be redeemed at.

New starters

Each year we hold a stay and play session in the village hall as a way for the children to get to know each other ahead of beginning school in September. It’s also a great chance for the parents to meet people they perhaps haven’t come across before – many friendships have come out of these sessions!

This year the session will be on Sunday 12th July from 2-4pm. There will be refreshments available in return for donations to FOSP.

We will also be organising some more informal drinks just for the parents, with the first on Friday 19th June at Rupert’s from 7.30pm. If you’re nervous about not knowing many parents, it’s a relaxed environment to chat, have a drink (Rupert’s have tasty mocktails too) and simply get to know the faces and names that will be very familiar for the next 7 years at St Peter’s!

There is a WhatsApp group for parents of children starting St Peter’s in September, so please do join that to keep up to date on any other events taking place.

As well as all of the above, please do feel free to message round in the group or post on our Facebook page if you want to arrange playdates in the park or anywhere else – even if it is just a quick message to say ‘We’re heading to the park at 3pm today if anyone else is around’. It can feel overwhelming for the children as well as us parents sometimes, especially if you’re new to Coggeshall. However, there will always be a friendly face and someone to chat to, and often you reaching out will help others to realise it isn’t just them who needs this.
