Last academic year was again a really successful one for PTA fundraising, with combined efforts raising over £30,000 in total, and achieving a profit of over £19,000 after costs.

Over £22,000 was raised from PTA events, with a profit of £14,500 and lots of fun along the way, which really is a fantastic and achievement.

In addition to income from events, almost £8,000 was raised from donations and grants. This includes Just Giving fund raising campaigns, regular parent donations, as well as some specific one-off donations and grants.

Just over £10,000 of the proceeds were donated to school in-year for enrichment activities, and the PTA is working closely with the school around further making donations in line school priorities in the near future, that deliver immediate benefit to the pupils.
