Aims and Objectives

• The aim of Bellinge Community Pre ~~-~~ school is to enhance the development and Education of children. Primarily under statutory school age, by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by: a) Offering appropriate play facilities and training courses, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that each group offers opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability.

• b) Encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families, promoting public interest in and recognising those needs in the local area ~~.~~

• c) Instigating and adhering to and furthering the aim of the Pre ~~-~~ school Learning Alliance ~~.~~

Financial Review

As can be seen through the Annual Accounts registered, the value of Grants has increased from previous years and remains an essential requirementfor the running of the Pre ~~-s~~ chool. Whilst Employment costs are of course the largest item of expenditure, our efforts have also been drawn to the importance of strengthening general aspects of the Pre ~~-s~~ chool’sinfrastructure;in terms of the quality of equipmentand overall improvements, that will further raise the value of the Pre ~~-s~~ chool’s role in the community it serves ~~.~~

The work of improving infrastructure was started in 2008/9 and continued in 2023/2024 ~~.~~

Careful planning and good practice all across the board has also ensured that all costs were covered by the grants and fees, in a balanced drive to further secure the future of the Pre ~~-s~~ chool.
