This was only possible thanks to the continued generosity and support of St Matthew's families, staff, and the wider Raynes Park community. These funds have directly enhanced the educational experience of all pupils and helped strengthen the sense of community across the school. Main Events Our large annual events remained the backbone of fundraising, together generating a net surplus of over £20,000. The Light Festival raised £3,269 net. The Christmas Fair and associated seasonal activities, including a Wreath Night, were the most successful winter fundraisers, roducin £6.908 net.

The Family Picnic, impacted by the weather, retumed a modest £82 but played an important role in bringing families together at the end of the school year. Smaller Events and Activities A diverse programme of smaller activities proved both popular and highly effective, together raising a net total of £8,470. These included: Readathon (£1,631) and Plant Sale (£918), reinforcing both learning for our children and community involvement. Cake sales (£822). movie nights (£2,006), and ice lolly sales (£884), which were especially valued by the children. Second-hand uniform sales (£499) and Bags2School (£177), which also promoted sustainability. The Easter Egg tombola, where the PTA funded the eggs rather than requesting donations resulted in a small loss of £25 but helped ensure inclusivity. Further to events, by utilising a new high interest business savings account, the PTA generated £632 in interest income during the year External Funding and Support The PTA was proactive in seeking additional sources of income to ease pressure on families.. Sponsorship cash receipts totalled £3,700, with Coombe Estate Agents continuing their generous support. We were also grateful to receive two workplace donations and direct contributions from three parents, all of which provided valuable additional support to our income with £3.127 raised. The PTA issued a parent survey during the year to gather feedback from parents and caregivers, which was used to help shape our planning of events and activities. Sports Fund Following feedback from parents regarding the lack of funding for sports provision, the PTA launched the St Matthew's Sports Fund. In March 2023, 21 parents, governors, and friends took part in the Hampton Court Half Marathon, raising an exceptional £10,673. The event was further supported by David Lloyd Gym in Raynes Park, who generously sponsored the branded t-shirts worn by the team. Funds raised through the Sports Fund contributed to the installation of a new playground activity trail and outside gym, covered staff costs to enable participation in ten external sports events during the year, and provided new balls, nets, and other essential equipment. Impact on St Matthew's School: Thanks to this success, the PTA was able to donate over £44,750 to St Matthew's School in 202312024. These funds were used to provide: Reading materials. educational resources and online subscriptions as well as costs for printing and school administration New playground equipment including an outdoor gym and trim trail to improve play and wellbeing Replacement of various sports equipment A Christmas pantomime to celebrate the festive season 30 new iPads for the school as well as secure storage Termly Amazon vouchers for teachers to spend on their classes. depending on their individual requirements. £500 contribution of new books Funding of external sporting events and the hire of additional staff to facilitate this.
