Friends of Brondesbury & Islamia (FOBI)

Friends of Brondesbury and Islamia (FOBI) is our school’s Parent Teacher Association.

Organised and run entirely by volunteers from the Islamia community, they work to improve learning resources and extracurricular opportunities for our students. They also aim to enrich the Islamia community by bringing together staff, families and friends of the schools.

Below is an outline of FOBI's activities and work.

Fundraising

FOBI helps raise funds for our Islamia Hardship Fund —which supports the education of deserving students who have trouble paying their fees.

They organise coffee mornings and community events for parents, families and friends. 

They run fundraising initiatives and charity evenings often working closely with our students.

Extracurricular Support

FOBI works with staff to support our students through extracurricular clubs and activities like the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE). 

They also help school staff with putting on events like parents’ evenings, sports days, school plays and more. 

Their hospitality on these occasions makes a world of difference as they welcome parents and the wider community into our school.
