Para 1.20 | A big thanks must go to Jo Sibley and her amazing team for expertly providing a safe and nurturing educational environment for our children over the past0 year. From a personal point of view my youngest daughter started in reception this year, and had been so well prepared for school by the team at the preschool. Outgoing this year is a significant number of committee members now that our children are moving onto Whimple Primary. Outgoing are myself (as Chair), Mark Hastie (Treasurer), Stefanie Garwood, Dawn Ross (Secretary), Murray Ross, Sophie Lawson (who has joined as staff) & Scott Lee-I would like to pass on my thanks to all for their hard work and dedication over the years. Over the past year, we have now introduced a formalised staff pay scale based on both experience and qualifications to reward and retain talent, the aim is this will then rise as a percentage in line with national living wage increases annually. There is a new “Finance officer” role which we hope will take the majority of administration away from the treasurer, so although there needs to be a named person as treasurer as part of the charity commission rules, the role going forward should be far less onerous. Andrea Bristow has accepted this role along side her other administrative roles. Numbers of children currently attending, and on the upcoming entry is currently as maximum capacity, which is great news from a financial stability point of view. We have put in place a policy this year to ensure local families get priority places, prior opening registration to those further afield. Fundraising has done well this year with our most successful Quiz & Curry evening ever. The prize/promise auction raised a significant amount of money, as well as fund raising events at the village day, 12thMan festival. A big thanks to Donna and Marc Slater (Thirsty Farmer) who provided expert cooking services for the curry and for |
|---|---|---|
Hook2Sisters Ltd for their donation of the chicken. I finally would like to finish by saying thank you to all the committee members for their hard work, and it has been a privilege to be chairperson over the last three years and I hopefully leave it in a strong position. I wish the committee, Jo& the pre-school staff, and to all the parents, the best of luck going forwards!
