Friends of Newcroft

Friends of Newcroft are a group of dedicated parents, grandparents and friends of the school.

We gather together to support in fundraising for items to enhance the school and its learning environment. We want to provide items for the school, which we know that their budget will just not stretch to, to enrich and support the learning for all pupils. Just like the time we helped the school to turn into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in time for world book day!

Come and find us on our Friends of Newcroft Facebook page to keep you up to date with our next events and ideas!

In our time we have raised thousands of pounds which have been spent on items at the school such as the outdoor gym equipment, extra books for the school library, IT equipment, Year 6 leavers hoodies and plants for the outdoor areas. Working alongside the school and its staff, we can offer support to help ensure that Newcroft Primary Academy continues to be an outstanding school for all our children.

Whilst our primary aim is to fundraise for the school, we do like to have some fun along the way. Our children and the school community have enjoyed hosted events such as discos, film nights, family bingo and you can’t forget our amazing summer and Christmas fetes! We also raise money through other events such as a Mother and Father’s day secret room (helping our children select and wrap a gift for their loved ones). 

Friends of Newcroft aim to bring together staff, parents, pupils and friends, socially in support of Newcroft Primary Academy and as extra volunteers come on board, we hope to be able to have more fun, run more events and of course raise more money to support the school.

How can you get involved?

Many hands make light work and we would love for you to be involved - whether this is a fully-fledged committee member or an offer of a helping hand at our events. We want to be able to support the school and our children. Offering to help before, during and after events - it really doesn’t matter! We know we all have lots to do, so all offer of help is valued and really will make a difference! Help can be offered from home if you are too shy, as we are always needing presents wrapped or the tombola labeling! We have lots of fun in planning these events, so if you have the time, we really would love to involve you! Please  contact Miss Brailsford who is our Senior Leadership Team Link via the school's office.
