Achievements and Performance
| Summary of the main | During this financial year, the regular fundraising activities have |
|---|---|
| achievements of the charity | continued to bring in a consistent income as shown in recent prior |
| during the year | years, such as through the continuation of the annual scarecrow trail, |
| ice cream and cake sales. A major portion of the money raised | |
| (£12.5k) was paid over to the school to support the school activities | |
| such as providing materials and paid visitors for STEM week. | |
| Fundraising events have gone well over the past year with majority of | |
| the money coming from fundraising events in the community and also | |
| from generous donations from local businesses. We held our fourth | |
| annual Scarecrow festival event during October HT, which raised | |
| another phenomenal total of around 3.7k through generous donations, | |
| plus some of our other normal fundraisers were able to continue, such | |
| as the Lottery, clothing bag collections, cake sales, uniform sales and | |
| Christmas cards. This year a new event was created, in the form of a | |
| 5-a-side football tournament. This was a great success and provided | |
| over £1,000 for the school. |

Financial Review
B rief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves
Normally these are kept to a minimum as funds are passed to school when they are required. At the close of FY 2024/2025, we made pledged donations of £12,500 towards the school’s IT provision, from our 2024/25 fund-raising efforts. Surplus funds raised in 2024/25 are carried forward to 2025/26, as a buffer for any shortfall in donations to ensure we meet our £12.5k per year target for IT provisions.
Details of any funds materially in deficit
