Thanks for visiting, but the material on this site is no longer maintained.

Please go to the Bury St. Edmunds page on the Suffolk Music Hub site for current information about the Friends of the Music School.

The new schedule for Saturday morning for this term can be found here. As a result, we are changing the times of Saturday morning tuckshop to centre around the single break between 10:40 and 10:55. This mean tuckshop volunteers (allowing time to set up and clear away), only need to be there between about 10:30 and 11:15.

Many thanks to our new volunteers this term! You will shortly get an email with information about how we operate and a link to the schedule for this term.

Music School has started again and we are still very short of people to run the tuckshop on a Saturday morning. We are now down to so few that, even with only one person running the tuckshop each week, most people have been asked to do it more than once this term. If you are able to join our team of tuckshop volunteers, please visit our Sign-up Page and provide your details.

It is not difficult and, good news!… From this week, we will have helper every week who is providing support for Saturday Music School as his Duke of Edinburgh’s award Volunteering activity.

Music School starts again this weekend and the Tuck Shop rotas have been published on the Rotas Page. If you were expecting an email about this and haven’t had one, please email me.

We are now very short of people to run the tuckshop on a Saturday morning. It doesn’t take much and we will always schedule two people for each session so you have someone to talk to and help when it gets busy. If we have enough volunteers then you will have to do it only once a term. If you are able to join our team of tuckshop volunteers, please visit our Sign-up Page and provide your details.
