development and education of children,
primarily pre-school children aged 3-4 years
old, but also funded children aged between 2-3
years too, especially those who are local

purposes for the public

activities, projects or

1.19|The Charity helps run and maintain Noah's Ark
pre-school which is based on the grounds of
Our Lady Immaculate Church and Our Lady
Immaculate Primary school. It serves the
immediate Catholic Community, but also the
wider community in surrounding areas. The
Charity helps and supports the running of the
pre-school, primarily with 2 daily sessions for 3
hours each as well as all day for children who
are accessing 30 hours or are privately funded.
The majority of children at Noah’s Ark are
government funded. The pre-school is
governed by the statutory framework of the
Early Years Foundation stage and works under
the guidance of the Royal Borough of
Kingston’s AFC team. This ensures that all
children at the pre-school have the opportunity
to learn according to their individual needs and
to the best of their ability. The charity supports
the pre-school through many fundraising
activities, but also with overseeing the
Management of the pre-school and ensuring
that all stakeholders are involved in decisions
such as improvements, negotiations or policies.
The Charity supports other charities that they
have a connection with,for example the| |||Catholic Church and their projects. Through
these projects the children learned about the
other groups in the community and develop a
good communityspirit.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming
