All parents are automatically regarded as being members of the Friends of William Brookes School, which is affiliated to the National Confederation of Parent Teacher Associations. The group aims to support the educational aims of the School, organising fund-raising activities to provide finance for resources additional to those provided by the LA and arranging opportunities for parents and teachers to meet socially.

In recent years, activities have included: Bingo and Quiz evenings, cake stalls, Christmas and Summer draws, charity balls, an annual Summer Fete and 'Murder Mystery' events.

Friends of William Brookes School also organises the 100+ club, which runs six half-termly draws, each with a prize fund of £100. Parents are most welcome to join, both as a means of winning a possible cash prize and contributing to useful additional school resources.

In recent years, Friends of William Brookes School has very helpfully contributed funds towards:
. a third school minibus
. new library books
. additional PE equipment
. computers
. music instruments
as well as supporting special projects and providing resources for a range of departments and clubs throughout the school. You will see that Friends of William Brookes School helpfully provides refreshments on Parent's and other evenings.

The Committee is elected annually at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in October.
