Each project was thoroughly scrutinised in association with the Head of department in order to benefit the students of our school. If a project benefitted one group/age in particular, then the trustees would strive to accommodate other groups/ages through other projects.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main April 2021 – June 2021 – Friday Bakery achievements of the charity Every Friday at pickup time, parents and staff get a chance to purchase during the year bread, croissants and other French bakery specialties. It is a weekly social event everyone looks forward to in the school. This year, it stopped until April 23[rd] , because no parent could enter the School until this date, even APLIL trustees. Therefore, we could not manage to organize Bakery (we could not put tables on the pavement and receive the provider’s delivery) from September 2020 until late April 2021. For 8 Friday Bakery events, we generated £ 1,297 and it cost £ 1,089. September 2020 – March 2021 Parent’s coffee Once a month (usually on Fridays), all parents are invited to meet in the School for coffee and pastries. This allows us to exchange and create links within our community and with the School in a friendly environment. This year, no parent was allowed in the School. Therefore, we organized informative zoom conferences instead, but still with specialists asked to talk about a topic. For example, we hosted a specialist to talk about positive education. These events do not generate cost nor raise money. September 2020 – June 2021 – Unitrade All parents have opportunities to purchase, throughout the year, secondhand uniform, from items donated to APLIL. We usually sell our items on the School car park or in the School during Parents’ Coffee or during the newcomers reception day. This year, none of these events took place so we decided to organize a sale via internet: the parents could ask by mail if the needed item was available. If so, they paid directly into the APLIL account and we organized delivery at the school gate or through students. This generated £ 1,835 for the year. December 2020 – Lilluminations The end of calendar year is a festively busy time at school and APLIL provided for most events and expenditures. Two Wishing trees (one for the main Secondary Hall and one for Primary) are installed and then decorated by the children for Primary and by APLIL Board members for Secondary. The School Webliothèque is also decorated with lights by APLIL Members (as well as part of the entrance). An end of calendar year event, called “Lilluminations”, providing hot chocolate and crêpes, lighting of school facade and managing a book stall is usually organized by trustees and volunteers. Obviously, this year, we only organized the two Wishing trees and the lighting. These events cost £ 410. 2021 – Parents’ night In March, usually, a themed party is organised for parents in the school gymnasium which is totally decorated for the occasion by volunteering parents. The parents pay an entrance fee to cover the costs of the evening including catered food, decorations and dinner drinks. However, this year, we could not organize any Parents’ Night because of the coronavirus pandemic, and because no parent was allowed into the School grounds. However, some parents decided to donate their advanced payment for the cancelled March 2020 Parents’ Night of £ 1,865 during this year.

2021 – Kids boom A dancing party was organised in 2019/2020 after class for children in 4ème and 3ème from Lycée International de Londres and CFBL, in the school gymnasium. We usually also sponsor self-organized dancing parties by school students for a year group. However, due to covid restrictions, we did not organize nor sponsor any dancing party this school year. June 2021 - Annual School Fun Day Organization of a festive day for students and parents at school with food stalls, games and shows. Unfortunately, due to Covid restrictions, we only could organize a festive couple of hours by separated bubbles for Primary kids only, during school time on the 29[th] of June 2021. This event generated £ 388 and cost £ 501. January 2021 – April 2021 APLIL events organized specially to raise money for FSF Due to the Covid pandemic, more and more families in our community faced increasing financial difficulties. As part of our mission to link and support our school parents’ community, we decided to organize many events. We created 2 zoom cooking events in February (Asian for the Chinese New Year) and in April 2021 that raised altogether £ 1.102,68 but also cost £240 for the chef. We also organized an APLIL Run Challenge (dedicated to motivate our Community and school students to have an outside activity during the lockdown) that generated £ 1.420. Some parents also decided to donate their advance payment for the cancelled 2020 Parents’ Night to FSF totalling £ 630. All our profit was completely donated to FSF, so altogether, we granted FSF £ 2,913 this year for these events. All the activities listed above generated in total, over the 12 months financial year, £ 8,538. The total direct costs of running those activities were £ 8,538. These are mainly the cost of goods for the bakery and for the other events organised. APLIL decided to donate £ 2,913 financed through the special events mentioned above to FSF. APLIL granted the Lycée International de Londres £ 1,300. The donation to the School 2 years ago of £ 6,000 has not been spent yet by the School because of the Covid pandemic. APLIL has reminded the school that the agreed investment is expected to be spent for the wellbeing of the children. APLIL granted the FSF (French Scholarship Foundation) 10% of the surplus for the year (before School grant,) as in previous years. This amounts to £ 289. In addition, APLIL has decided to grant a further £1,300 for this year. In total for 2020/2021, APLIL has granted FSF £ 4,502. It is due to the very special period of COVID and to help with the great difficulties that the community has been facing.

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

● the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising);

● how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;

● investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted.

Funds were mainly raised through Unitrade, donations (from the 2020 Parents’ night entrance fees, the events organized to grant FSF and the Friday bakery sales.

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 benefitting the students (see above detail).

There was a consultation with the school staff and head teacher on the best use of the funds granted. The full grant was allocated to the School by August 2021.

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 and whenever possible.
