Friends of Willowcroft
Welcome to the Friends of Willowcroft Page
We are a friendly group of parents, teachers and friends of Willowcroft school, who organise and run a number of events and activities for the whole school and their families to take part in. Money raised at these events provides valuable funding for equipment and anything else on the school's wish list. We are always looking for volunteers to join us. You can give as much or as little time as you like, every little helps. The more helpers we have, the more money we can raise for the school!
If you are able to support, join or help us in any way, please contact us on:
pta@willowcroft.oxon.sch.uk
We have a facebook page!
Friends of Willowcroft now has a Facebook Page "PTA Friends of Willowcroft" . Please like and share to keep updated with everything we do.
Friends of Willowcroft also has a Second Hand Uniform shop.
If you're looking for any uniform, please drop us an email with what you're after and we'll check our stocks
