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.

Could You Join the PTA Committee?

At the end of this school year, the PTA committee will be saying goodbye to three of our wonderful members—two whose children are finishing their Acorns journey, and one who is off on an exciting new adventure. If you’ve ever thought about getting involved, now is the perfect time!

We’d love to hear from anyone interested in joining. It’s just one meeting a month in teh village pub, plus helping out with donut or ice cream stall when you can. Without new members, we simply won’t be able to achieve the amazing things we do—so please do consider stepping in and becoming part of our team.

 * Upcoming Events! *

🎪 School Fête – Saturday 21st June

The countdown is on! Join us on Saturday 21st June for the School Fête—a highlight of the summer term. Expect games, stalls, food, performances, and plenty of fun for the whole family. If you can spare a little time to help—whether setting up, running a stall, or tidying away—we’d love to hear from you. Together, we can make it a fantastic day for our school community.

🎉 Leavers’ Disco – Coming Soon!

We’re also busy behind the scenes planning this year’s Leavers’ Disco! Tickets will be available soon, and we’re excited to invite all children from Reception to Year 6 to join us in celebrating the end of the school year. (Sadly, our nursery children will have to wait their turn—but we promise it’ll be worth it when their time comes!)

1. Easy Fundraising

A reminder to keep shopping with Easy Fundraising or to sign up if not already done so. You can even use it when doing your weekly food shop online https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/acornsprimary/

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!!
