: ws . , ; - Wehavedelivereda range ofexciting fundraisingeventsforourpupils and theirfamilies this year. Our largest single events are Fireworks night (£5.7k) and the Christmas fayre |
| (£3k) which are open to the wider community and were well supported. Ourdiscos raised | |
| £5.5k this yearand continue to be popular with our pupils.We held two silentdiscos during | |
| the year which incur an equipment hire cost butwe are committed to these events which | |
| are popular with ourSEND pupils and ensure our discos remain inclusive to ourwhole | |
| school community. We also introduced a movie event in 2025 having purchased an MPLC | |
| licence which makes use ofthe hired headsets therefore mitigating some ofthat cost. | |
| We have delivered a number of presentations to pupils during collective worship. This has | |
| helped pupils understand betterthe aims and objectives ofthe PFAas well as informing | |
| the charity about how pupils wish funding to be targeted. This includes feedback from the | |
| School Council where pupils have actively engaged in considering how PFA funding and | |
| events can be shaped. | |
| We have continued to offerfree tickets via the Family Liaison Officer to ensure all our | |
| events are accessible regardless of cost. | |
| We have continued to invest in new equipment and resources to maximise fundraising for | |
| the future. This yearwe purchased a popcorn warmer. | |
| Our pre loved uniform shop has raised £273 this yearand has been very popularwith | |
| families. This is a valuable resource forfamilies who can access low cost branded uniform |
|
| items and promotes recycling within the school. | |
| We received a £10k donation from a wound-up charity (Kent Play Clubs).We have agreed | |
| to ringfence this funding to meet the costs of after school activities (whole school) for three | |
| financial years. | |
| We funded a completeAV upgrade forthe school hall which is used on a daily basis and | |
| will improve school performances benefitting the entire school community. | |
