**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The year ended 31 August 2023 saw a re-establishment of PTA activities post COVID restrictions, supporting the school community and raising funds to support the school’s activities, both of which continue to support the children attending the Bollin Primary School.
Net proceeds raised in the year totalled over £21,000. Support for school activities increased in the year, utilising funds carried forward from previous periods as well as fundraising in the year.
The majority of funds raised were through activities held such as discos, movie night, Christmas and Summer fairs. These provide an opportunity for families and local community to come together as well as raising funds. Cake sales were held throughout the year, raising £2,500 to support class activities and materials. The PTA continued to participate in EasyFundraising and AmazonSmile schemes, which contributed £1,700 of receipts in the period.
The PTA’s contributions to Bollin Primary School increased in the period, including funding investment in Chromebooks (£7,300) and the school’s library (£4,100). A key focus was the replacement of the wooden pirate ship in school grounds (£9,700) which was identified as a priority by the school’s pupil council. Further spending covered a broad range of resources such as £2,500 towards class play boxes, £2,100 musical instruments, and £3,900 outside planters to support the schools eco and gardening priorities.
The higher cost environment has impacted the school, and the PTA has supported as appropriate, including funding additional resources the school has previously sought to provide that support the learning experiences of the children, this included licenses for certain resources and non-curriculum activities.
