Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	The PTA ran various large and small events throughout the year. These raised a large total with which to support the school, and also promoted a sense of school community. The larger events were Festival of Light, Christmas and Summer Fairs; smaller playground sales of pre-loved uniform, ice lollies and cakes / doughnuts. Other events included online raffles, non- uniform days and sponsored running events. During the year we raised over £25,000 for the school. This enabled the purchase of essential items for pupils such as online reading schemes, maths resources, support for school trips, as well as funding for more calming and environmentally friendly classroom features, and inclusion materials.
