Who are we? 

Friends of Acorns Primary (PTA) is a mixture of parents that work together for the benefit of our school. We depend on a continual cycle of parent involvement. It's fun to be helping and having more helpers means it is easier to dip in and out with a little bit here and there. If you will be at an event, why not offer to help for 30 minutes? We can be contacted via email:

Without the PTA social events such as our summer fair, bingo and barbecues would not take place, transport for school trips would not be subsidised, new furniture and equipment would not be purchased and lots of fun activities such as discos, theatre group visits and workshops in school, would not happen.

Introducing our Co-Chairs

We’re Jack and Charlotte Bradshaw, and we’re delighted to introduce ourselves as the Co-Chairs of the PTA. As a husband-and-wife team, we’re excited to take on this role! Our daughter, Riley, is in Reception, and our son, Spencer, can’t wait to join nursery.

PTA Committee Meetings

The PTA is busy planning events for the rest of the academic year and there will be some lovely fun times and fundraising ahead. If you would like to join the committee planning meetings they are once a month at 7.30pm in The Red Lion, Long Compton. We just ask that you can attend regularly.

• Next meeting date is Monday 7th April 2025

 * Upcoming Events - Easter 2025! *

Next up is Easter, and the PTA has two events coming up! Firstly just like last year, there will be an Easter egg hunt for the children in the school orchard. 

We also have a change in recent tradition. As you all know, the Santa Trail around the village didn’t happen this year. That’s because we’re introducing an Easter version instead!

Your School Lottery is an exciting weekly lottery that raises money for schools in the UK. All schools supported by the lottery will benefit the UK and its residents, but what we think is really appealing is that for every £1 ticket purchased by our school community - 40p will come directly to us to top up our fundraising! 

Tickets for the lottery cost just £1 per week, with a top prize of £25,000!

Each ticket will consist of 6 numbers and each number will be between 0 and 9. There will be a draw every Saturday night when a 6 digit winning combination will be picked. Match all 6 and you win the JACKPOT!

There is also a guaranteed winner for each school every Saturday which is drawn on a raffle basis, so there are two chances to win a prize.

Play the lottery, support our school - it’s that simple!

Follow the link to purchase tickets, we wish you the best of luck!!
