OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The association was founded to advance the education of the pupils at Grange Park Primary School by providing and assisting in the provision of facilities for the education at the school not normally provided by the LEA.
To this end, the association has arranged various fund-raising events and activities, which have enabled these objectives to be carried out. Since 1997, the association has continued to support the school by supplying equipment and/or services such as computers, sun-screens, cooling fans, outdoor play equipment, drinking bottles, reading materials, outdoor shelters, benches, kitchen equipment etc.
The association will provide such equipment and/or support after appropriate consultation and after obtaining agreement with school management.
REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2023-24

There were changes to the committee this year with resignations from Alev Killi as Secretary, Sebastian Bell as Sponsonr co-ordinator and Angela Rawtenstone as Communications co-ordinator. All other committee members remained the same.
During the year, we have raised money from social events (e.g. Christmas Fayre, Summer Fayre, Cake Sales and Uniform Sales).
We would like to thank local businesses who have made donations to the association.
We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all parents, carers, staff and pupils who have worked hard to make each event successful and enjoyable.
Last, but not least, thank you to everyone who has supported us by attending our events and the generosity you have all shown.
FINANCIAL REVIEW OF THE YEAR 2023-24
The Treasurer has prepared the 2023-24 accounts based on detailed documentation provided to her.
The association showed a deficit of £9,598 (2022-23 surplus of £9,123 ) from the fund-raising activities and social events during the year. The deficit this year derived from an planned increase in the donations made to the school.
Net takings from fund-raising - £22,105 (2022-23 - £27,039). Although fundraising amounts have remained consistent, there has been a marked increase in costs due to inflation, resulting in a lower net income than previous years.
The bank balance at the year end was £16,901 (2022-23 £26,499)
Costs have been extremely well managed. Each event during the year generated an excess of income over cost. Internal controls for cost control have been reviewed, and are considered to be appropriate.
RESERVES POLICY
We have no reserves policy in place.
