WHO ARE WE?
Winter Wonderland was a huge success! It was heart warming to see so many of you playing games, eating sausages, toasting to the holiday with some fizz, getting glitter tattoos and visiting the Grotto.
In total we raised £4,542.24! Congrats to all! This will go to funding the artificial turf and sun shade for the playground.
Massive undertakings like this need a host of people to make them happen. Thank you to each of the volunteers that manned a stall, moved a tree, dispensed a prize, grilled a sausage, donned an elf cap, and spread holiday cheer for all to hear. We are so very thankful for you...
Trees are back! We have once again partnered with Pines & Needles to offer Premium Nordmann Fir (aka the King of Christmas Trees) for your holiday!
These beautiful trees are 35% cheaper than the high street prices. And 40% of the profits (after VAT) go straight to the school.
F-O-U-R-T-Y. Fourty. 40%.
Can't beat that with a cricket bat.
We are offering the following sizes at the following unbeatable prices:
3ft - £25
4ft - £30
5ft - £35

While we are not asking for a donation, we do need a record of those who are coming. Please fill in the information for each child here
Quiz Night 2019 was a huge success! We ate. We drank. We had no idea what a GIF stood for, and most importantly, we raised £2,259 for the schools STEM initiatives!
Together we raised enough money to cover all of the expenses associated with new equipment, Raspberry Pi coders, and specialists speakers to give presentations to the kids. How fantastic that our kiddos who will surely think our Graphic Interchange Formats will be completely antiquated, are getting a leg up on possibly coding their own.
This night could not have been made possible without an army of volunteers. HUGE thank you to our...
The ever popular FOHPED quiz night is back! Friday, 1st November brings the first no kids allowed (!) event of the year. Book your sitter, brush up on your pop culture and bring your appetite for victory, and pizza.
Many burning questions will be answered. Will a clear winner emerge, or will two teams tie again? How will the teachers do? How many questions will trip you up? Will House of Tippler be the after party of choice? The answer to the last one, likely yes.
Grab your tickets here. Don't delay, this event will sell out.
To celebrate the arrival of summer, we brought the beach to East Dulwich! We welcomed hundreds of kids, parents and neighbours to our seaside-themed fair and raised a whopping £3,500 for the school – in just three hours!
With face-painting, a nail bar, a bouncy castle, and lots of games of skill to test their wits, the kids were kept happy and busy. The arts and craft stall was heaving with eager artists, and the slimy gloop of the lucky dip had them squealing for joy. We had guessing games to test the grey matter and now know how much a bucket of sand weighs, and how many sweets fit in a jar....

The FUN RUN is back!
Last year we held our very first FoHPED Fun Rub, organised by the wonderful Philippa. Despite the drizzly weather, it was a great morning out on Peckham Rye and we raised just over £2000 which was put towards the Green Screen in the playground to help reduce exhaust fumes and pollution.

Not one, but two full pages of amazing raffle prizes are up for grabs this Saturday! That's 44, yes, you read that right, 44 fabulous prizes - so the odds are well worth a flutter! Books of tickets were sent home, or collect them at drop off or pick up on Friday to sell to friends, family and neighbours. Don't leave it til the day - last Christmas, we sold out completely on the day!
Got to be in it to win it! Diamond earrings? A designer handbag worth £250? This could be the best pound (or five, or ten!) you spend this Christmas!
