We would like to express our gratitude to Mrs Jones for her invaluable support, as well as to Mrs Brewer and Mrs Doherty for joining us as teacher representatives this year.
If any parents or carers wish to join the PTA to help out with any school events or just volunteer when available, please do get in contact via 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, or come up and say hello if you see us around school!

Year 3 parent - walking for Project Shade!List Item 2
The parents of Lace Hill Academy are second to none and Year 3 Mum, Vicky Stephenson, is no exception. In order to help raise funds for Project Shade (our fundraising initiative to purchase much needed sun shade sails for the playground), she and her daughter Faith have pledged to walk 200km in April. Vicki says "I'm a keen walker myself, so thought I'd turn my hobby into some good for the school. Faith immediately decided she wanted to be part of it too, and I'm looking forward to achieving this goal along with the help from my daughter". If you'd like to support Vicki and Faith in their efforts, please contact the school and pledge some money to spur them on. Vicki will be providing regular updates and photos.
