🎄✨ PLEASE SUPPORT ST AMBROSE BARLOW’S CHRISTMAS BAZAAR! ✨🎄

Christmas is coming to St Ambrose Barlow Church Hall and it would be wonderful to see our school families and local community getting behind it! ❤️

📅 Saturday 28th November 2026
📍 St Ambrose Barlow Church Hall, Lakey Lane, B28 8QU

There’s going to be loads of festive fun, including Santa’s Grotto 🎅, Christmas stalls, tombolas, crafts, face painting, festive treats, Irish coffees & Baileys hot chocolates, a raffle and plenty more!

And keep your eyes peeled for Buttons the Snowman ☃️, who’ll be wandering around spreading a bit of Christmas cheer — and posing for free selfies!

🎟️ Entry is just £1 per adult and children are FREE.

It would be fantastic if we could really support the church and make this a busy, brilliant community event. Please share the poster, tell your friends and family and pop along on the day — the more the merrier! 🎄❤️

OPEN TO EVERYONE

you don’t need to be a member of the church or have children at the school. Come and join us! 🎅🏼✨

💙 What is our PTA AGM? 💙

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is our once-a-year meeting where we get together to look back at what the PTA has achieved, talk about our plans and ideas for the year ahead, and elect the committee who will help keep everything running.

It’s also a chance for new parents and carers to come along, meet us, have a cuppa and find out a little more about what we do. You don’t need any previous PTA experience, and coming to the AGM certainly doesn’t mean you’re signing yourself up for everything!

Our PTA is about bringing parents, carers and the school community together to create lovely experiences for our children, raise funds for things that make a real difference and, most importantly, have some fun along the way.

🌟 Roles open for nomination

Chair – Helps lead the PTA, keeps everyone moving in the same direction and works closely with the school. You definitely don’t have to do everything yourself — that’s what the team is for!

Co/Vice Chair – Supports the Chair, shares the workload and can step in when the Chair isn’t available. Perfect if you’d like to be involved in helping lead things but want a partner in crime!

Treasurer – Looks after the PTA finances, keeps records of money coming in and going out and helps us keep track of how our fundraising is doing. You don’t need to be an accountant — just reasonably organised with numbers.

Secretary – Helps keep us organised by taking meeting notes/minutes, helping with agendas and keeping important PTA records together.

Community & Partnerships – Builds relationships with local businesses and organisations, helps with donations, sponsorship and prizes, and gets our wider community involved in supporting the school.

And you don’t have to hold an official role to be part of the PTA. We always need people who can help at events, come up with ideas, wrap prizes, run a stall, contact businesses, bake a cake or simply lend an extra pair of hands when they can.

There’s no minimum amount of time you have to give. Whether you can help regularly or just once in a while, it all makes a difference. 💗

Wednesday 30th September • 9:00am after drop-off • Meet at reception.

☕ Tea, coffee and cake provided everyone is welcome!

If you would like more information on roles or like to fill a role please email [email protected]

Annual General Meeting

We would love to invite all of our parents and carers to our PTA Annual General Meeting (AGM) on:

📅 Wednesday 30th September 2026

The AGM is our opportunity to look back at what the PTA has achieved over the last year, discuss our plans for the year ahead and elect our PTA committee for 2026/27.

Our PTA is here to support all of the children at St Ambrose Barlow, and we’d really love to see some new faces getting involved this year.

You don’t have to commit to every meeting or every event to be part of the PTA. Whether you’d like to join the committee, help with a particular event, share ideas, volunteer occasionally or simply find out more about what we do, everyone is very welcome. 💕

Before we confirm the time, we’d like to find out which would make it easier for the most parents to attend.

Please vote below 👇

🗳️ What time would you prefer for the AGM?

👍🏼 9:00am – straight after morning drop-off
❤️ 2:30pm – just before afternoon pick-up
😂 Either time works for me

We’ll confirm the final time once we’ve seen the results.

We have lots we’d love to achieve for the children during 2026/27, so we’d love as many parents as possible to come along, have a say and help us shape the year ahead.

📚✨ WELCOME BACK, ST AMBROSE BARLOW! ✨📚

We hope all of our children, families and staff have had a wonderful summer and are feeling ready for the new school year. 💛

Tomorrow is a big day, new classrooms, new teachers, seeing friends again and lots of new adventures ahead! For some of our littlest ones, it will be their very first day at St Ambrose Barlow. 🥹🎒

📸 Don’t forget the first-day photo!
Our PTA “My First Day in Year…” photo banner will be waiting at school tomorrow morning, so make sure you stop for that all important back-to-school picture! Simply choose your child’s new year group and snap away. 💙📷

We’d absolutely love to see your photos too, so feel free to share them with us in the comments. 🥰

Wishing every single one of our children a happy, confident and exciting first day back and sending a little extra love to the parents wondering where on earth the summer holidays went and to those beginning their journey in the school for the first time! 🫶🏼❤️

Here’s to a brilliant new school year at St Ambrose Barlow! 🌟

💙 A Huge THANK YOU! 💙

What an absolutely fantastic day! 🥰

On behalf of the PTA, I just wanted to say the biggest thank you to every single person who helped make today’s Summer Fete such a success.

To our amazing volunteers, school staff, governors, families, pupils, vendors and everyone who donated, supported or simply came along to enjoy the day… thank you from the bottom of our hearts. 💙

The amount of hard work that has gone into the last few days (and especially today!) has been incredible. You all worked like absolute troopers, and together you created such a wonderful atmosphere for our whole school community. It was so lovely to hear several of our outside vendors commenting on what a friendly, welcoming and well-organised event it was. That really is something we should all be proud of. 🌟

The most important thing is that the children had a brilliant afternoon making memories with their friends, and thanks to your support we’ve also raised valuable funds that will go straight back into providing special experiences and continuing to improve school life for all of our children. ❤️

I hope everyone is now home with their feet up enjoying a well-earned cold drink… 🍷 (or maybe three! 😂)

As always, if you have any feedback or ideas for next year, we’d genuinely love to hear them. There’s always room to learn and improve, and your thoughts really do matter. 🥰

Thank you all once again for being such an amazing school community. We couldn’t do it without every one of you.

With lots of gratitude,
The St Ambrose Barlow PTA 💙
