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 new Co-Chairs - Charlotte & Jack Bradshaw

Hello everyone,

We’re Jack and Charlotte Bradshaw, and we’re delighted to introduce ourselves as the new 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.

We know we have big shoes to fill, and we want to express our heartfelt thanks to Jenny, Gemma, and the entire PTA team for their dedication and hard work. And a special thank you also goes to Lisa for her incredible support and contributions, which have helped us accomplish so much in such a short time this year. We’re committed to building on this momentum and continuing to move forward.

We have some fantastic events coming up, including our Wreath-Making Workshop on December 5th. Plus, we’re planning a bingo night in the New Year, along with many more exciting activities.

If you’re interested in joining the committee or volunteering at any of our events, we’d love to hear from you! These wonderful activities are only possible with the support of our amazing community.

We’re looking forward to working together!

Warm regards,

Jack and Charlotte Bradshaw

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!!
