Proceeds from raffles and silent auctions during these events were as a result of kind donations from local businesses with whom relationships have been fornied and as such the school has become an important part of the local eA)mmunity. As well as organising these events the sponsorship deal between the school and local Estate agents continued which enabled the school the ability to purchase equipment for the new building including the new playground equipment.

We do lots of little events which raise money. We can contribute towards improvements Questions What was fundraising like Pre-covid compared to post-covid? Before covid there were some major fundraisers like the cycle ride. A fundraising cycle ride is being planned for this year. The Ball in the Hall is a very successful event, and people were glad to come out again and party. The parent community evolves each year and covid had an effect on that parent/school community experience. We need to make people feel engaged, and get everyone onboard. We would like everyone to share their event experiences with other parents and encourage them to engage. LAS/?N
Are FOTH funds able to cover some of the costs that normally are covered by government. Mrs Letch explained that sometimes there are things that the government does not fund THS i.e. roof leaks but the school still have had to commit funds for this. This year will have to fund the windows. DFE school funding cost of fuel, had to buy into a procurement project, and now prlces have dropped but we are tied in. Kristin moves to approve Accounts, Emily seconds - all agree Committee members Election 3 standing positions: Chair person Treasurer Secretary Mrs Letch proposed that the Chair are co-chairs.
