Response to ihe Covld-19 pnd¢mk
The amount spent on PPE in the previous year was significantly hi8her. but in 2022 as th¢ impact of th¢
Pandemi¢ d¢crea5ed. the S￿nding on PPE decreased from £456.97 in 2021 to £107.97 in 2022. We expect
the PPE expenses to slay at the same low level for the current xademic year.

The Pre-school made a pmfit of £17.041.1 I for ihe year ended 31 August 2022. this wa5 up from the prior
