# **Friends of St John’s C of E Primary School**
**Annual Accounts 2023-2024 Prepared by: Abbey Geldard June 2025**
## 2024/25 Summary / Overview
## **Context & Scene setting** :
- Following some changes in the last financial year, a stable team made up of parents and teachers is now in place, making organising events easier.
- We have built a good balance that we are planning on using to provide goods and activities for the children in the next school year.
- We continued to provide annual traditions which are becoming more well known as the school develops and establishes itself. These include:
- A gift for each child at Christmas
- An Easter egg (or dietary equivalent) for each child at Easter
- Parentkind membership
- Contribution towards a Panto outing at Christmas
