Welcome to the 23124 Annual General Report of St Bon's PTFA.
It IS With mixed emotions that we Share thi5 report a5 it marks the end of
our time as Co-chairs of this wonderful charity! It has been a privilege to
serve the St Bons school communiiy over the past three years.
There have been many highlights, from our fantastic new website to
purchasing playground equipment that will bring joy for years to come. But
for us, the main takeaway has to be the opporiunity to meet and work
alongside a phenomenally dedicated commiitee and host of volunteersl
We have been fortunate to gain a first-hand insight into just how hard the
St Bons staff work for each and every child. Against an increasingly
challenging financial backdrop, it has been truly inspiring.
Be under no doubt that the money raised by you genuinely is needed and
makes a material impact in enhancing the educational experience of our
pupils.
There are still many exciting ambitions that the school wish to achieve with
the help of the PTFA. We look forward to seeing what this next chapter
brings!
A huge thank you for all your support!

REP
The following report is based on cleared bank transactions to the 4th
Jan 2024.
The timing of the AGM means that we don't have full picture for this
fundraising year as this typically follows the school year.
Fundraising for school year 22123 finished strongly and we ended that
year with a healthy bank balance of £28,087.71. Over the full school
year we ralsed a record £31.430.33. Expenses totalled £6.520.35 and
we supported school projects to the sum of £23,901,06.
A5 predicted, this represents a significant uplift on spending on school
projects as the school settled into post-pandemic life.
Major projects for 22123 included the Trim Trail (c. £15k donation) and
the Conservation Area (c. £4k donation}
Fundraising for the 23124 school year ha5 again started Strongly and
we've added a further £10,491.13 and the PTFA bank accounts currently
show a balance of £36.592.83.
This doesn't yet reflect the donation we've made to the outdoor
performance area in the main playground (c£16k donation) as this
payment has not yet cleared.
