COLDFALL SUPPORT: Chair's Report 2024/25
-
Coldfall Support was established in April 2018 as a charity through which parents with children at Coldfall Primary School, and others, can make financial contributions towards the provision of facilities and other resources for pupils at the school. The decision to establish the charity was taken against the background of cuts to the school's funding and the increasingly precarious financial position of schools more generally.
-
There were no changes to the Trustees in the year 2024-25.
-
The trustees are grateful for the voluntary contributions that have been made so far. The year 2024-25 saw a significant increase in donations, reflecting the continued support of the school community.
-
We continue to be grateful to the governing body and to members of staff.
-
The trustees continue to focus their efforts on raising awareness of the charity and providing a simple way for donors to provide voluntary contributions. The charity continues to explore how the funds should be allocated in collaboration with all stakeholders of Coldfall Primary School.
