PTA and Fundraising
Meet your 2025/2026 PTA Committee!
The AGM is the PTA’s only formal meeting of the year, covering committee elections, the chair’s report and the treasurer’s annual financial report.
Please feel free to read the chair’s report below.
Thank you to everyone who attended our AGM in November. We are pleased to announce the PTA officiates and committee members for the 2025/26 school year.
- Jess Stock (Chair)- Year 5
- Fran Connelly (Treasurer)- Year 6
- Jo Sommerville (Secretary)- Year 4
- Stephanie Orr- Year 4
- Andra Vidinei- Year 1 and 2
- Sans Painuly- Year 5
- Lakshimi Priya- Year 5
We want to express our gratitude to Mrs Jones, Miss Biltcliffe and all of the wonderful school staff for the invaluable support and enthusiasm.
Looking ahead to the next academic year, we are looking for replacements for our Chair, Treasurer and Secretary roles from November 2026. You will be fully supported by the current committee and the current chair and treasurer will be on hand if required to ensure a smooth transition. If you would like more information, please get in touch.
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!
