Trustee Report 2023/24
FoS exists to support and enhance the school experience of the Squirrels’ boys. FoS does this by funding certain fun and/or educational activities throughout the school year. In addition, FoS funds selected school infrastructure requests -
-
Activities funded in the year 2023/24 included Judo lessons, Garg’s Animal Encounters, First Aid Training, the Dick Whittington Pantomime, the Book Week author and magazine subscriptions. These requests are generally directed by the Teachers although they do need to be approved at monthly FoS meetings which all parents are encouraged to attend. The total spent on Activities for the boys was just over £10k .
-
Infrastructure approved/funded for the year 2023/24 – Library makeover, air conditioning units and a Canopy for the garden around Oak Class. The total commitment for the year was over £24k . This is a very significant amount and was much greater than seen in previous years.
Please note - FoS plans its operations on a three-year cycle. At the start of each cycle, a Ball is held for parents. Taking together ticket and alcohol sales, raffles, auctions and sponsorship etc at the Ball, the net surplus usually generated in that year allows deficits to be run in the following two years thus allowing FoS to maintain a smooth profile in the funding of activities for the boys. The next Ball will be in the Summer of 2025.
FoS began the 2023/24 school year with cash in the bank of £35,719 .14
- Cash is held at HSBC Wimbledon Branch in immediate access accounts so that it is always available to use. With interest rates at much higher levels than in recent history, interest received now exceeds the monthly bank charges (which are fixed at £11). Total interest income was over £560.
FoS organised a number of fun events throughout the year, such as the Christmas Fair, Quiz Night and the Summer Fair. All were very well attended by the boys, in particular, and their wider families and friends. A number of pre-loved books and uniform Sales were also organised. Such events help FoS to raise the funds needed to support the boys through the year. I should note at this point that FoS could not put on any of these events without the help afforded us by both Parents and Teachers who volunteer their time, brawn and brains most generously.
Close to £5k was raised in the Autumn Sports and Easter Reading challenges. Thanks obviously go to the parents for their generous support of these fun holiday activities for the boys.
FoS would also like to name check Wimbledon Homes and Robert Holmes for their generous sponsorship of a number of FoS events.
In total, formal fundraising and sponsorship monies received together in the year 2022/23 amounted to close to 30k .
At the end of August 2024, cash in the bank sat at £27,042.
The £8,677 net drain on cash balances versus the end-August 2023 level was the inevitable result of infrastructure spend (detailed above). As explained above, one would have expected a net drain in FY 2023/24 anyway given the cycle on which FoS operates although, in this particular year, a great year of fund-raising was more than offset by a very generous infrastructure allowance.
Troy Bowler FoS Treasurer (outgoing) 30 June 2025.
