The object of the Association is to advance the education of the pupils in the school. In furtherance of this object the Association may:

During the year, the Association organised various social activities that helped to maintain the school community and the proceeds from these (plus gift aid donations) raised a net income of £20,124.66 (2021-22 £ 25,639 ).

In line with the objectives of the Association, it was decided the funds held would be best utilised through donations to the school.

These donations were used to support activities such as subscriptions as well as enabling the school to invest significantly in learning resources, teaching resources, IT and school equipment.
