Call Directions Website Contact the organisation

Long Lane PTA The Long Lane Primary School Association comprises of willing parents and staff who raise money for the school and have some fun along the way!

The money we raise is used to fund extra projects across the school that directly benefit our children. We organise various fun events ranging from our traditional family Christmas fair to more parent-oriented activities like our popular Quiz nights. We usually run a licensed bar at school performances several times a year. Towards the end of the summer term is the Year 6 Leavers' play at which we organise an al-fresco supper for parents and friends which is a great way to finish the year. Why not come along to an event or join the Committee? For more information email us via Facebook or contact the school! Guidelines for use:


- Please only post items that are related to the School Associations remit of fundraising and social events.
- Photos can only be uploaded by an administrator so please email any photos for inclusion to the school office.
- We reserve the right to delete comments that are off-topic, self-promotional, inflammatory, or otherwise inappropriate.
- Please do not name children (or adults) without their consent.
