FoSMPS Class Reps

What are Class Reps?
 

The FoSMPS committee is supported by a network of Class Reps. These are parents or carers assigned to each year group who help connect families with the work of FoSMPS and the wider school community.

​​​​

Class Reps are elected at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) in October, with typically a minimum two reps per year group.

​​​

The Role of a Class Rep
​​

Class Reps play an important role in supporting communication, community spirit, and participation within their year group.

​

Their key responsibilities include:

​​

  • Managing a WhatsApp group for your child’s class within the year group (if you have children in more than one year, you can choose which class to support and are not expected to manage multiple groups).

  • Sharing updates and communications from the FoSMPS committee within the WhatsApp group. Please read our WhatsApp Code of Conduct.

  • Encouraging parents and carers to attend FoSMPS events throughout the year and sign up for volunteer roles, which are key to making our events a success.

  • Organising end-of-term teacher / support staff gifts using an online collection tool (e.g. Viing).

  • Reminding their year group of key school updates such as: Upcoming events shared through the weekly Headlines newsletter, Google Classroom, or school emails.

  • (Optional) Arranging termly social gatherings, e.g. informal meet-ups or drinks. These are a great way to help parents / carers to connect and build community.  

    When organising social events, please consider cost of living and inclusivity. A simple, low-cost gathering such as a casual drink tend to be more inclusive than paid-for events. These socials are not intended as fundraisers, so please avoid scheduling events that may compete with FoSMPS fundraising activities.

    If you’re unsure or have a great idea for a social or fundraising event, feel free to contact us at friends.stmatthews@gmail.com.

    If you have ideas for social events that could align with fundraising, please submit the idea using the form on the Fundraising Ideas page.
