CTE THE FRIENDS KING'S COLLEGE SCHOOL 2022-2023 ## The Friend’s of King’s College School The Friends of King’s College School ‘The Friends’ is a registered charity founded by parents in 1978. Its objectives are to further the education of pupils at King’s College School, Wimbledon and pupils at other schools in the maintained sector and overseas with which King’s has a formal relationship, our partnership schools. With the invaluable support of an army of parent volunteers,The Friends completed a successful year of fundraising across our events which enabled us to continue supporting the bursary fund, partnerships programme, and school projects. The Friends organise social and fundraising events throughout the year. The events bring the community together and raise funds to support school projects and the wider King’s community. Total allocations towards school projects amounted to £67,425. We allocated funds to support partnership schools (£18,300), purchase of new equipment across several areas including drama, art, design and engineering and music (£49,125).Total proceeds from second hand uniform sales contributed (£26,259) to the bursary fund. We are enormously grateful to everyone who attended or helped organise our events.

All event committees are chaired or co-chaired by a member of the current Friends’ council.The council members meet regularly throughout the academic year to review activities and in consultation with King’s, determine how best to allocate the funds raised in accordance with the charitable objectives set out in our constitution. **----- Start of picture text -----**

We also draw upon the parent body and alumni to volunteer their time and expertise at our annual Careers Fair (hosted in conjunction with the King’s careers team) for upper fifth and lower sixth pupils. We also provide valuable second-hand uniform collections and sales to parents on a termly basis. ## The Partnership Community The Friends support the King’s extensive partnership and outreach programme including Junior Aspirations and Open Doors Project. The community projects involve 9 state secondary schools 12 state primary schools 3 special schools from Wandsworth, Kingston and Merton. ## The Wimbledon Community Our Christmas Fair and Community Tea events welcome families of the wider Wimbledon community, including the local elderly and from local care homes. Our Christmas Fair attracts over 2,800 visitors on site, and we welcome more than 200 elderly guests to join us for Community Tea. We are also grateful to be able to secure sponsorship from local businesses to support our events. Our King's families attend and enjoy our events including Fireworks, Family Fun, Quiz and biennial Ball. ## The King’s Pupils King’s pupils receive the benefit of enhanced school equipment across several departments from drama, art, music, science, and sport. In addition, over 200 King’s pupils volunteer in 50 projects every Friday from mentoring, tutoring, sports activities, and drama performances, as part of the partnerships and outreach programme we support. We also support the school’s bursary fund, allocating all proceeds from second-hand uniform sales and other funding. ## Allocation We committed the following allocation to school projects and the King’s bursary fund. Items are purchased and integrated into school use as soon as possible. |Allocation|Amount| |---|---| |King’s bursary fund|£26,259| |Community partnerships and Open Doors Project

A lower sixth pupil commented “I love this room”.’ School Archivist “Whilst we have only taken possession of the equipment recently, we are looking forward to using it regularly at rehearsals, concerts, jazz, rock and community events. It will transform the sound quality and versatility of our performances at so many events, and will be appreciated by King’s musicians for several school generations.” Music ## Looking forward We actively work to strengthen the sense of community at King’s and to further enhance the relationship between The Friends and the broader school community including partnerships. We will continue to work with the school to review the bids process and ensure it best reflects the school’s budgeting timetable and educational needs. We aim to allocate funds to projects at King’s and our partnership schools that embody the values of The Friends and the school. In particular, we will strive to be inclusive and to ensure our events are accessible for everyone in our community.This includes maintaining affordable pricing of events by managing increased event costs and procuring support and sponsorship from local businesses. ## Thank you We are immensely grateful to everyone who helped organise, support or attended our events. Without the efforts of our many supporters and volunteers, our contribution and the King’s sense of community would be diminished. In addition to all the year group representatives and council members, special thanks go to the following people for their outstanding contributions this year: Lukas Kolff (Family Fun event), Rebecca Hamblin and Mike Eley (Fireworks), Sonia D’Allance de Melo (Christmas Fair), Tina Hene, Dee Patel and Kinna Amin (Community Tea), Prachi Prasad and Louise Hunter (Quiz), Lucie Favre (Second Hand Uniforms). We also extend our sincerest thanks to the Head, Junior School Headmaster, the Development Office and all members of the school community who have so generously supported us and contributed to our success this year.
