|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|The Club has continued to provide essential<br>wrap-around childcare to a significant number<br>of pupils at Stanbridge Primary School(approx.<br>157 children, a small increase from the<br>previous year), allowing parents to work and<br>giving the children a warm, welcoming<br>environment to play and relax in before and<br>after school hours.<br>Cold and hot breakfast options are available to<br>children attending the breakfast club, such as a<br>choice of cereal, croisunts and toast. In the<br>afternoon children have a choice of jam or<br>savoury sandwitches, along with vegetable<br>sticks, fruit-flavoured yogurt and fruits.  Juice,<br>squash, milk and water are on offer.  Dairy free<br>alternatives are available as per parents<br>requests.<br>As part of our overall emphasis on safety this<br>academic year we have separated children<br>from KS1 and KS2 to ensure all children felt<br>safe and staff were able to attend to their<br>needs.  In both groups children are free to<br>engage in a range of arts and crafts, indoor and<br>outdoor play.<br>This year we have also began reviewing and<br>updating the club’s policies to ensure they are<br>up to date to safeguard children and staff.<br>Compared to the previous academic year<br>(2023/2024) numbers of children on the books<br>increased slightly with new Reception starters<br>replacing Y6 leavers.  Wednesday is the most<br>popular day for breakfast club (53 children)<br>whilst Tuesday is the most popular day for<br>after-school-club (58 children), well below the<br>club’s full capacity at 65 children per session.<br>Friday is the most quiet day for both.  There<br>was no waiting list for the 2024/2025 academic<br>year, with all parents getting the sessions they<br>requested.  That was because parents were<br>communicated in advance on which days<br>had/had no capacity to plan accordintly.<br>This year there were some changes in staffing.<br>We started this academic year with 8 members<br>of staff, 6 permanent and 2 on zero hours<br>contracts. One of these has been on long-term<br>sick leave and had left the club by the end of<br>the academic year.  We have employed two<br>new members of staff and finished the year<br>with 7permanent members of staff.|

Ratios of staff to children remained above those used at other clubs/the levels required by Ofsted. The trustees committee has continued to invest in the wellbeing and personal development of staff. We invested in staff training for two members of staff to receive training in Level 3 Paediatric First Aid.  We have also updated our staff sickness policies. We have continued to use the website and online registration system set by the OSC’s Chair.  This year we have also set up a closed WhatsAPP group voluntarily joined by parents to be used as a platform for communication between parents and the OOSC team and for updates and announcements. The Trustees have continued to work closely with the Stanbridge Primary School’s management and the OSC comms material are routinely included in the school’s newsletter to maintain awareness among parents. This year one of our trustees has resigned and two new Trustees have joined the committee.

## **Financial Review** 

|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|Finances remain healthy.<br>Total income was higher than the previous<br>financial year by £9,745 (£112,458 vs<br>£102,713).  This was due to higher number of<br>children using the club.  Total expenditure was<br>higher than the previous financial year, with<br>staffing costs pushing up expenses (£92,024 vs<br>80,520).  Despite the additional costs our<br>surplus wa £20,434, slightly lower than in<br>2023/2024 (£22,193).  Our total cash reserves,<br>which includes two savings accounts in<br>addition to our Debit account are £91,177.<br>Staff wages were increased across the board in<br>line with minimum wage increases, in effect for<br>April’s salaries. The club reviewed the financial<br>impact of various potential increases and<br>checked wages for similar roles in the local<br>area for staff on higher-than-minimum wage<br>pay.|
|---|---|---|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|We have an informal policy to keep approx 3<br>months’ running costs eg £20,000-£25,000 in<br>reserve (but in the same bank account) to<br>enable the club to continue running through<br>times where there is less demand (ie fewer<br>pupils) or for emergencies such as the COVID-<br>19 pandemic. The reserves are unrestricted.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|Our two savings accounts hold the following<br>reserves:<br>32 Day Notice Account £24,123<br>95 Day Notice Account £46,336<br>Debit Bank account £20,434|
