Ladysmith Schools PTA

Help us fill our summer fair tombolas!

We're collecting donations for two of our most popular Summer Fair stalls: the Bottle Tombola and the Teddy Tombola! For the Bottle Tombola, we'd be grateful for any unopened bottles, big or small. These could include wine, prosecco, soft drinks, bubble bath, sauces, squash, or anything fun and bottle-shaped. Donations can be dropped off at the school office.

We're also looking for clean, good-quality soft toys for the Teddy Tombola. If your child has any teddies looking for a new home, we'd love to give them a second life at the fair! Teddy donations can be placed in the designated bins by the school offices.

Our Crowdfunder campaign is on its way to help HOP return to Ladysmith Juniors in September.

Thank you to all the supporters so far - we’re now over 1/3 way to our target!

For the next 28 days every £1 donated will be doubled thanks to @‌avivauk Communities Fund.

Visit our Crowdfunder page - and don’t miss out on selecting a reward for your donation.

A huge thank you to everyone who made our Spring Trail event on Friday the 4th of April such a success!

A special thanks to all the amazing bakers who brought delicious cakes and treats, and to all the parents who volunteered their time and energy to help make the day run smoothly. And of course, a big shout-out to the kids who joined in the fun and enjoyed the Spring Trail – you made the day extra special!

Your support and enthusiasm mean so much to us! Thank you for making it a memorable event!

A huge THANK YOU to all the brave families who baked, donated cakes, came and enjoyed our pop-up on Friday, rain or shine, you made it happen! ☔️💪

Thanks to your support, we raised funds that will go directly to the enrichment budget, helping provide even more opportunities for our children. We couldn’t do it without you!

We are ready! ❤️❤️🍰🍰🧁🧁
