Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main The year ended 31 August 2024 was another successful year for achievements of the charity fundraising events, supporting the school community and raising funds to during the year support the school’s activities, both of which continue to support the children attending the Bollin Primary School.

Regular activities such as discos, movie night, quiz night, Christmas, Summer and Easter events continue to provide an opportunity for families and local community to come together as well as raising funds. Newer events such as the International Festival and International Women’s Day strengthen the events calendar and celebrate our diverse community, and Mothers and Fathers Day gifts to celebrate our families. The year also saw the semi-annual Summer Ball, an amazing event supported by local businesses through sponsorship and auction / raffle donations.

The school and PTA have agreed to focus on maintaining outdoor spaces, including gardening and eco areas as well as sports facilities. As part of these initiatives, a sponsored walking and running event was held. A material development in the year was the success in securing a National Lottery grant to replace our Preloved uniform shop. This has allowed us to broaden our stock and open the resource up to the local community.

The PTA continues to support the school in enriching our children’s school experience, through maintaining our wonderful library, providing additional play, music and sports equipment, as well as the focus on extra-curricular provision such as the gardening and eco focus of the school. We have also contributed to making the school environment safer for our children and local residents through investment in parking signs. A further contribution to our families school experience is support for the Seesaw licence, a platform that allows enhanced communication between teachers, pupils and families.
