**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. The after-school clubs
run from 3:40-5pm each weekday, except Wednesday
when they run from 1:20-2:40pm.
The Amicale is committed to enabling as many students
of the school to engage in sports, arts, 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

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 309 and 320
registrations to Amicale clubs (against 237 and 252 the
previous year and 280 this last term). 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. Due to the increase in number of
children attending the after-school activities, 1 activities
supervisor is present in the school on a daily basis and a
caretaker is at the gate to control entrances and exits for
security reasons.| |---|---| ||| ||A great contribution is made by member volunteers. We
are grateful for the many hours’ volunteers have spent
contributing to the smooth running and success of all of
the association’s projects and 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 of 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. School planner We offer a customized school planner for our children, created by the Trustees who liaise with the print company. These planners are distributeD 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. To tie in with our musical offers for the new year, the contest theme was: “Melodie du Bonheur” or “My life in Music”, for which we received wonderful creations. 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. Printing costs 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 a traditional pantomime. 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 ||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.
Graduation CM2
The traditional gift given by the Amicale the graduating class is
a farewell ceremony with light catering for parents, children,
teachers and head teachers. As well as this leaving gifts
include ‘Leavers hoodies’ and a CM2 yearbook.
Emotional wellbeing Mme Paule
Psychosocial education workshops delivered on emotional
wellbeing to children, teachers and parents by Madame Paule.
This was delivered in collaboration with the headteacher to
support this initiative.She did ateliers with all the classes
from Maternelle to Primary and also held a conference for
parents in person and online. Mme Paule, trained
psychotherapist working with children.
Volunteers recruitment drive
In May 2024, we hosted recruitment drive for new trustees and
volunteers to support trustee governance, safeguarding, club
registrations and projects. Unfortunately parent engagement is
low and the Trustees are present daily - operationally,
accounting and project wise.
Quiz Night 2023 for parents
The Quiz night is usually organised in the Spring. Volunteer
parents team up to organise and run the evening.
The Boulangerie
The Boulangerie offered a chance for teachers, parents and
children to buy French patisseries onsite. Run by volunteers
the boulangerie was run twice during that financial year.
School activities
The Amicale continues to separately manage the Teacher’s
fund.. Money raised comes from the Kermesse (school fair),

**of the charity’s**
**policy**
**on**
**reserves**|Amicale funds were mainly raised through the afterschool
clubs’ fees,
the school fair and class photos. Our income
generated by after school activities has reduced Year-on-year
which is in line with the pupil headcount reduction the school
has experienced and the cost of living crisis.
Reduction in class expenses is driven by a reduction in the
amount requested from the teachers to use the funds for the
classes. We expect this trend to reverse in the next financial
year.
Our main costs are the fees of the instructors running the after-
school activities and the supplies required to run the activity.
The funds that are not used to run the activities are granted to
the School for the purchase of equipment and the financing of
projects benefiting the children. We aim to keep the cost of the
activities to parents affordable and for the surplus generated to
be spent during the school year within the limit of our reserves
policy stated above. We try to keep running costs down by
relying on volunteers wherever possible. The difficulty in
recruiting volunteers over the last years has meant that we rely
more on paid staff to run the after-school clubs.
Unfortunately during these Covid years 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 this year with
funding provide a raincover for Maternelles & acquire outdoor
tables and chairs; and help the school fund a Music
Programme with Ealing Music School (EMS).
At the year end, we held reserves as decided during the AGM,
to support large scale projects.
The reserve was designated for:
-
Playground improvements
-
Policy development and updates around safeguarding
-
Outdoor area cover for reception classes
-
Safe crossroad for the school entrance
-
Community garden
Additional reserves are held in order to meet any unforeseen
expenditure that may occur.| ||Amicale funds were mainly raised through the afterschool

I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
