Our Muslim Primary School - Support Needed

[Mark Barrett]

Dear All

As the deadline for our final submission draws closer the need for
people to show their support and help out a bit becomes greater. here
is the Enfield Advertiser story (including some interesting comments,
which you are very welcome to respond to!)
http://www.enfield-today.co.uk/news.cfm?id=1187&headline=Dad%2520plans%2520Muslim%2520primary%2520school

Our next drop in / meet the team event is this Saturday at the Trinity
at Bowes community centre, Palmerston Rd, Palmers Green from 11am -
3pm.

Please come along and invite others to do the same. Ideally we want to
reach, in addition to the Muslim community also the wider non-Muslim
so we can show a strong connected and outward facing project.

Here are the various other ways we can be supported / followed:

(1) we need parent registrations and wider community support via our form at
http://thefcschool.org/parental-expression-of-interest/

(2) People can like (and share!) us on FB ( we are pushing that at the moment -
went from 20+ to over a 100 today )
https://www.facebook.com/faithandcommunityschool

(3) And follow on Twitter
@newfaithschool

A standard mail out letter which got sent today with info is
below, in case you didn't receive it yet (and the phone number below
is mine).

Cheers

Mark

Dear Friends

Following our successful community event at Green Towers, Edmonton
last Saturday, we would like to thank you for all of your
registrations of support for your children, and also volunteering
support. Insha'Allaah we are definitely on our way to a successful
application to the Department of Education this May 2014.

However in order to be successful we will need a minimum of 120
registration of interest forms from parents with children ready to
enter reception in September 2015. So far we have 60 such forms and so
we are half way there! So, if you would like to send your child to the
first Muslim free school (non-fee paying, ie state funded school) in
North London then please fill out a form. The on-line form can be
found at http://thefcschool.org/parental-expression-of-interest/

Also, if you know anyone (family, friends, work colleagues,
neighbours) who might wish their child to come to our school please
direct them to our website asap. Also do ask everyone you know to like
our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/faithandcommunityschool

Lastly, we are always looking for volunteers and education
professionals to help us out wherever possible. Please call us or SMS
if you want to be involved (0785 439 0408 and/or
newfait...@gmail.com)

Yours faithfully
The Faith & Community School Governor Team
