Summary of achievements		the main ofthe charity	The Group has continued to flourish during the year and demonstrates wide range ofactivities, open to all the children.		a
during	the year		Other points ofinterest this year include:
			~ The committee gained a few members at the AGMlast year, this
			allowed the committee to set up shadow roles for key roles to allow a
			smooth handover at the end oftheir time in office.
			~ Club policies continue to be updated; these are now available	on
			the School website, along with the Club Handbook.
			~ We continue to be blessed by the commitment shown by Mrs
			Skeldon as our Playleader. She provides wonderful activities for the
			children and they continue to enjoy many different experiences. The
			children have nothing but praise for the BASC and are happy here, which
			as parents we know is very important. A recent parent and pupil survey
			continues to support this.
			~ In March 2023 we lost a member ofstaff due to their family
			circumstances requiring them to travel home to help care for a family
			member. A new staff member that started part-time at the beginning	of
			the year has settled in well and has increased hours over the year.
			~ Staff have adapted well to a new structure for dropping offand
			picking up pupils from the club.
			~ Newsletters continue to be sent to the club mailing list but we	aim
			to improve the frequency over the next year. ~,Bookings for the club have continued to be completed online, some issues have been identified and the club are working to rectify
			these.
			~ We continue to experience difficulties with parents paying the
			Club in good time, and have spent a great deal oftime chasing parents		to
			keep their accounts up to date. We have now signed up to two new
			online payment schemes to help parents make payments.
			~ Children are now back in the club garden and looking forward	to
			eating what they have planted.
			~ The children have enjoyed a variety of activities over the last	year,
			learning to knit and sew, porn-porn making to name a few. THey enjoyed
			an end ofyear party. which as always they enjoyed helping to plan.
			~ In April 2023the club received a visit from Gfsted, which
			highlighted many ofthe positive aspects ofthe club. The inspector
			enjoyed her time at the Club interacting with the children. The inspections
			report can be found on the club website.
