The Trustees on the date this report was approved were: Raphaelle Godfrey, Fanny Deroulede, Monique Ducher & Paul Leclercq And all the Trustees are registered at the Charity Commission. Criminal Records Bureau checks are carried out before commencement of trusteeship as well as for all trainers in the afterschool clubs. All trustees are covered by a public liability insurance included in the association’s affiliation to PTA (the confederation of parents’ associations). Prior to contracting with our association, all trainers for afterschool clubs must provide a certificate for their public liability insurance. Bank account operates on a dual signatories/authorisation basis. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration or any other benefit. |**SECTION C**|**OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**| |---|---| |**Summary of the objects of**

**Summary**

**the**

**relation to these objects**|The object of the association is to advance the education of pupils in
the school in particular by (1) developing effective relationships
between the staff, parents and others associated with the school and
(2) engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which
support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
Our main activities, running throughout the school year, are the
daily
after
school
clubs
and
the
Friday
_Boulangerie_. The
after-school clubs run from 3:40-5pm each weekday, except
Wednesday when they run from 1:20-2:45pm.
The Amicale is committed to enabling as many students of the
school to engage in sports, arts, theatre and cultural activities thus
advancing their education. These activities further benefit the
children by developing self-confidence, and social skills. Our
school is a French school, and follows the French curriculum, with
French as the main teaching language. However, as it is based in the
U.K., improving English language skills for all pupils is a big part
of the curriculum. The after-school clubs run in French can thus be
used by English speakers to improve their French skills whereas
many families where only French is spoken will happily resort to
English-run clubs to improve their children's English language
skills.
For term 1, 2 & 3, there has been between 237 and 252 registrations
to Amicale clubs. The feedback from the parents of the school is
that the after-school activities provided by the Amicale is becoming
an essential service that gives the children a great opportunity to
explore, learn and have fun in a familiar environment. We continue
to keep in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance of public
benefit and each project was thoroughly scrutinised in order to
benefit as many children as possible in the school. Demand for
places at our clubs remains high. In normal times, we are fortunate
to have access to Hanwell Community Centre where our basketball
club can take full benefit of a covered well-lit basketball court
allowing us to accept more children in this activity. Due to the
increase in number of children attending the after-school activities,
2 activities supervisors are present in the school on a daily basis and
a caretaker is at the gate to control entrances and exits for security
reasons. Although, this increases our expenditures, it allows us to
run the after-school activities more efficiently.| ||Our main activities, running throughout the school year, are the

The _Boulangerie_ also offers an annual “Galettes des Rois” sale to give the school community a taste of French cultural tradition. This contributes to the social aspect of the association’s objects. A great contribution is made by member volunteers. We are grateful for the many hours’ volunteers have spent contributing to the **Additional details of** smooth running and success of all of the association’s projects and **objectives and activities (Optional Information)** events. Without the valuable contribution of time, energy and expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much. |**SECTION D**||**ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**| |---|---|---| |**Summary**

**during the period**||September 2020 to June 2021-After school clubs
In this reporting period, we have been successful in welcoming more
children in our after-school activities and the number of activities offered is
stable with up to 26 activities offered, accommodating all age groups each
day, as suggested by parents. This meant further investment on our website
and the online registration system. On termly basis, pupils can participate in
afterschool activities as various as judo, football, gymnastics, basketball,
ballet, badminton, rugby, multisport, mini-tennis, Art, music club, Chess,
Backgammon, Science club, coding and robotics, Creative writing, Zumba,
Fencing, Capoeira, roller skating, Lego club. These clubs are run by
professionals. They give the children the opportunity to learn, have fun and
socialise. At the end of the term or the year, the children were proud to
show what they learned to their parents in performances, exhibitions and
friendly matches. These events are very popular with the children and
parents alike.
Friday_Boulangerie_
Some Fridays at pick-up time, parents and staff get a chance to purchase
bread, croissants and other French bakery specialties. It is a popular social
event that everyone looks forward to in the school.
School planner
We offer a customized school planner for our children. These planners are
given to the school to distribute to the children from CE1 to CM2 (eq. year
3 to year 7). We work closely with the teacher’s to make this planner a
helpful tool for the children. This year we had an art competition to
illustrate the school planner. The theme was “The school of my dreams”.
School directory
Upon written authorisation of publication by the parents (with the insurance
of non-commercial use of their details), a school directory was compiled
with all contact details per class to facilitate the organisation of school runs,
play dates, sleepovers and homework catch up. Printingcosts were covered| |||September 2020 to June 2021-After school clubs

with all contact details per class to facilitate the organisation of school runs,
play dates, sleepovers and homework catch up. Printingcosts were covered| by the sale of the directory at a small price and announcers could purchase advertising space in it thus enabling the association to raise funds. ## Children’s Xmas Xmas time is a festively busy time at school and l’Amicale provided for most events and expenditure. A volunteer father played Father Christmas, visiting each class and distributing class presents and goodies. The Amicale funded a Xmas tree which was decorated by the children. For the Xmas show, the Amicale offered to pupils the Bubble man show. ## Quiz Night 2020 for parents The Quiz night is usually organised in the Spring. Volunteer parents team up to organise and run the evening. Unfortunately due to COVID, we could not run the Quiz night this year. ## Fête de la musique talent show In France, each year since 1982, on June 21st, music is played everywhere in streets to celebrate the arrival of Summer. We have maintained this tradition by holding a “fête de la musique” at school and organising a day where all children could demonstrate their musical skills to their friends in the audience. The purpose of it is to keep valuing music and the children's multiple talents. Our young musicians received medals and diplomas and after playing in front of the pupils. ## Yearbook 2020 As the school had stopped providing a yearbook, we had re-introduced it a few years ago. Two volunteer parents prepared each yearbook: one school-wide sold to all the parents at cost price and a customised one offered to the graduating CM2 class. It is a good way to remind the children of the school, their friends and events. ## Teacher’s fund The Amicale continues to separately manage the Teacher’s fund (Amicale 2 bank account). Money raised comes from the Kermesse (school fair), the money raised by the teachers from the Christmas cards and parents from the school photos and events around Young Voices. Transactions relating to the Teachers’ fund are shown as restricted funds. The school grant was spent on the following items: - school planners - Twinkl membership - Christmas tree, show for children, and christmas class presents - CM2 graduating class yearbook and hoodies - School books project (Equipment for classrooms, Books such as Max l’Ecole des Loisirsl, incorruptibles) - Investment in the after-school activities equipment/materials - Twinkl membership - Miscellaneous (Aquarium, Maternelle outdoor toys, Cones and caution tape) |**SECTION E**|**FINANCIAL REVIEW**| |---|---| |**Brief statement of**

School furniture and equipment (lockers, bike and scooter racks)
Additional reserves are held in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure

Unfortunately during these Covid yearsx we could not invest in the school
as much as previous years because all school projects were put on hold but
we hope to resume next year.
