The end of the academic year is upon us and what a year we’ve had! 


We have had a fantastic year of fundraising and bringing our school community together. Whilst our main aim is to raise vital funds for school, seeing the community come together at events that wouldn’t happen without the PTA is a sight to behold. 


This year we held discos, participated in the Christmas parade (and won 1st place!), lots of the children joined the raise £20.26 challenge, and of course our Bounce & BBQ was back and bigger than ever!


We want to express our gratitude to Mrs Jones, Miss Biltcliffe and all of the wonderful school staff as well as parent helpers who have made these events possible. 


We also want to thank some amazing local

Businesses and organisations for support with our Bounce & BBQ event this year! 


Looking ahead to the next academic year, we are looking for replacements for our Chair, Treasurer and Secretary roles as well as committee members from September 2026. We have had an incredible 4 years, but now it’s time for fresh energy and ideas! You will be fully supported by the remaining committee. If you would like more information, please get in touch.


Our next AGM is on the 24th September 7:30pm, we hope to see you there. 


If any parents or carers would like to join the PTA to help out with any events or ad-hoc volunteering you can join our ‘Happy Helpers’ WhatsApp chat using this link https://chat.whatsapp.com/FmSthiz7292KtULAvK6URw?mode=gi_t

There is no minimum commitment required, even sending some emails or collecting items from local businesses is a huge help. You can also get in touch via email pta@lacehillacademy.co.uk



We are all parents of children at Lace Hill Academy who give up their time and energy to organise the events. Some of them are very time-consuming so new people and willing helpers are always welcome. The PTA is a member of ParentKind and abides by its constitution. This means there must be an AGM, Chair and Treasurer with minutes kept. There should also be teacher representatives. A defining strength of the new Lace Hill Academy PTA is outstanding teamwork. The PTA is an open, fun and friendly group of parents and teachers working towards a common goal: supporting the education of the children at our school and strengthening the school community


There are several ways to stay in touch or get updates on PTA activities, so please send us an email, join our Facebook group, find us on Instagram or come up and say hello if you see us around school!
