PALMS

Welcome to PALMS, where parents and teachers join forces to sprinkle a little extra magic onto the school experience at Long Meadow!

At PALMS (Parents/Friends at Long Meadow School), we’re not just a charity, we’re a community-driven powerhouse dedicated to making school life unforgettable for our little learners.

Over the past few years, our PALMS team has been on a mission to turn every classroom into a playground for imagination and learning. With your support, we’ve funded exciting school trips, upgraded our tech game with shiny new computers and interactive whiteboards, jazzed up our playgrounds with colorful markings, and even made sure every leaver walks away with a special memento of their time here. Plus, who could forget the epic Easter Trail?

Here’s a rundown of the fantastic events PALMS has orchestrated to bring joy and support to our school community:

Summer Fete: Fun in the sun with games, stalls, and laughter galore!

Christmas Fayre: A winter wonderland of festive delights, crafts, and Santa sightings!

Reduced price Panto Tickets: Because every child deserves a magical trip to the theatre.

Movies and Munchies: Film nights with popcorn, cozy blankets, and unforgettable memories.

School Lottery: Lady Luck smiles on those who support education and win fabulous prizes!

Easter Hunt: Hunting for eggs, bunnies, and smiles—Easter joy for all!

Treat Cookie Days: Indulge in sweet treats while supporting our school’s initiatives.

Discos: Groovy nights of dancing, laughter, and making memories under the disco ball!

Old Clothes Collection: Declutter for a cause and support sustainability efforts.

But here’s the real magic: we’re just getting started!

Whether you’re a master event planner, a crafty volunteer, or just someone with a passion for making a difference, we’d love to have you on board.
