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:
ptawillowcroft@gmail.com
We have a facebook page!
Friends of Willowcroft now has a Facebook Page. Please like and share using the QR code below or search "PTA Friends of Willowcroft" to keep updated with everything we do.

Last academic year, we were given a big target of raising £8000 for updating the school's playground. We did amazing with the support of Willowcroft Parents and Carers as well as a ground from South Oxfordshire Council which meant that we reached our target in October 2023. The playground update was then able to be carried out in the October half term.
Each year we aim to raise money towards the following items:
Christmas Pantomime
Christmas crackers for every child to have with Christmas lunch
Christmas trees
Sports Day Lollies
Leavers Hoodies
Over new target for this academic year is to continue to raise money to update the school playground as well as provide money to the school library to restock with new books. At the Christmas fair we managed to raise £1400 which all went to buying new books.
