Friends of Great Marlow
Our thanks to Friends of Great Marlow who have had a another fantastic year organising and supporting the school in a wide range of events. As a team they have continued to provide refreshments at school events as well as organising very important first aid courses for students. The annual events such as Xmas market and the Mum’s netball tournament continue to be very successful.
Jill Hickey
in her second year as the chairperson has continued to lead an inspired group of school supporters raising significant sums of money to support developments within the school. To date they have raised £8,221 this year with two significant events to go, the Robbie Williams Tribute Night and the inaugural open Air theatre production by the Pantaloons at Great Marlow School of The Canterbury Tales on the 23 July.
The Friends of Great Marlow from their funds raised have purchased 8 picnic tables for the new outdoor area very recently landscaped at the front of the Sixth Form Centre and are currently in discussions with Mr Ford with regards to the most appropriate things to purchase for the benefit of the school .
All members of the school community are very grateful for the hard work and support of Jill and her team.

OPEN AIR THEATRE COMES TO GMS - SAT 23 JULY !!
The FOGMS team have been lucky enough to secure “The Panatloons” theatre group to come and perform one of their open air shows for us on Sat 23 July in the school grounds.
The Pantaloons are a young and vibrant theatre company who draw from a wide variety of popular theatre traditions, from commedia dell’arte and pantomime to stand-up comedy and silent movies, to bring what they consider to be a vital sense of “play” back to classical performance. The Pantaloons will be performing “The Canterbury Tales”. A cast of just five actors present every single one of Geoffrey Chaucer’s timeless tales in under two hours! Join the pilgrims for puppetry and poetry, music and magic, talking chickens and burnt bottoms. Fast-paced, physical and funny, this show is pure medieval mayhem for the whole family.
Bring along a picnic, your rug and chairs and enjoy what promises to be an enchanting evening.
