The Friends exists to raise money which is invested in the school to enrich the children's education and play. We typically raise about £25k a year which is vital money at a time where school budgets are under so much pressure. Recent projects wholly or part funded by the TDJS Friends have been the new smartboards for every classroom, playground equipment, books, library book return box, Healthy Schools week, ipads, leavers mugs and so on. We also support extra-curricular workshops throughout the year, like seminars on Internet safety. We do this by running a programme of events which give parents, children and teachers a chance to come together and have fun for a good cause. Our regular events for the whole school community include a Christmas celebration and a Summer Fair. We also hold social events for parents, such as a comedy night and our Summer Ball. Plus some fun stuff specifically for the children, our most popular being the Halloween Disco.

Our mission is to lead the efforts of young people in and from foster care. We believe that those from foster care deserve to be: CONNECTED to a peer support network and to people in the community who care. EDUCATED about their rights, the foster care system works, self-advocacy strategies, and how to locate resources to help them succeed. INSPIRED and empowered through the stories of people who have succeeded after foster care. REPRESENTED by having their voices heard by policy makers, the public, and others who influence the system that profoundly impacts their lives. With programs designed to support our mission, FosterClub empowers foster youth to improve their futures and the futures of those still in care.
