Our PTFA is a vital, invaluable asset to the school. Over the years they have provided equipment (most recently the fabulous outdoor play equipment), arranged events including the annual May Fair, Christmas Fair and Schools-Out Concert as well as the children’s discos and parties and competitions throughout the year. They have manned stalls, made tea, provided cakes, paid for coaches and training, subsidised trips and visits and tirelessly raised funds in a myriad of inventive ways. As the title suggests they are a group of parents (mums, dads, grandparents, carers), teachers and friends of the school who meet up regularly to plan their magic. If you are interested in learning more you can contact them through the school office or via their email: loders.ptfa@gmail.com.
The Trust Board of Acorn Multi Academy Trust has agreed to submit a request for a variation to be made to the Admissions arrangements for Loders CE Primary Academy for 2021-22, in respect of the over-subscription criteria relating to church attendance.
The variation requested is that " In the event that during the period specified for attendance at worship the church has been closed for public worship and has not provided alternative premises for that worship, the requirements of these [admissions] arrangements in relation to attendance will only apply to the period when the church or alternative premises have been available for public worship". Please follow this link to the amended 2021 Admissions Policy and Supplementary Information Form (SIF).
