the education of pupils in the

1.
Developing effective relationships
between the staff, parents and
others associated with the school
2. Engaging in activities or providing

gift buying for Christmas, Mothers Day and
Fathers Day, Boldmere bars, Iftar, Tea
towels, school discos and ice cream sales

operated a used school uniform shop to
further raise funds.
The PTA communicates with the school
community through PTA newsletters, a
website and social media posts. Parents
are openly invited to attend the AGM and
volunteer their time or ideas.
The PTA provides financial grants to the
school following written applications by any
staff member of the school using a
designated funding application form. These
are then reviewed on a two stage process:
1. Firstly by the Trustees to determine
that (a) the application falls within
the objects of the charity and (b)
that the charity holds sufficient
reserves to make the grant| |||2.Provided (a) and (b) are confirmed
by the Trustees then the application
is published to the committee
members who vote whether to
support each request in full or in
part.
If a majority is found in favour of the
application then the grant is made by BACS
to either the Junior or Infant School
accordingly.
All funds raised are to be used for the
benefit of the school via the provision of
grants. Neither the trustees nor any
volunteers receive any remuneration other
than for expenses properly incurred in the
running of the organisation and its
activities**.**
The PTA provided 14 such grants to the
school totalling**£19,545**
