FORESTDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL PARENT TEACHER ASSOCIATION TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT- continued CHAIR'S ANNUAL REPORT The committee have had a great 12 months, increasing our total profit from 2023 by c.33 %, taking our total for 2023124 to a fantastic £12,596.06. The success that we have had is, as always, testament to the hard work of the committee, the great support from parents, carers and teachers and the invaluable support from the SLT, Louise, Sue and Stella in the office and Mike and Steve, our site managers. The support we have received from Sarah since taking over as headteacher has been extremely positive and the relationship between the PTA Committee and the SLT has strengthened over the past year. Over the course of the year. we have organised discos, a Christmas fair and Elfridges shop, an Easter egg hunt, a summer fair, a Year 6 leavers disco and a new golden ticket event, which went down very well with the children. Alongside these events we have run a number of mufti days as well as organising personalised artwork via School Fundraising for Mother's Day and Father's Day. Having a slightly larger committee this year has made a big difference and the collaboration with the new Class Reps in relation to volunteering for recent events has been positive. We have been able to fund a number of items for the school this year which are detailed in the Treasurer's report. These include bark for the Peace Garden, live pantomimes, Christmas parties and bookbags for our new Reception starters, which the committee have agreed to fund each year. We are looking forward to working with the school this year to provide a donation towards reading books for the whole school and the start of our long-awaited trim trail. We have many exciting plans agreed with the school for 2024125 with some new and exciting events including a Laser Show and a Colour Run. We also plan to hold our annual Summer and Christmas fairs, easter egg hunt and the Wonderlicious golden ticket event will return for World Book Day for 2025. Samantha Coppock decided to step down from the committee late 2023, due to work commitments but we thank her for her support during her time with us. All current committee members have nominated themselves to continue in their roles for the current academic year. A huge thank you from all of us for the support we have reived, and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
