Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	2023-24 has been another amazing year for Buckingham Primary School PTA. We completed the ambitious playground equipment project, with a combination of grants and fundraising funding the KS2 part of the project. We now have fantastic play equipment in both the KS1 and KS2 areas, which should be used by hundreds of children for many years to come. A really legacy project. From an events perspective, we held our third Family Fun Day, which again raised around £8,000 and was once again a hugely popular day, welcoming families from across Buckingham. We held two discos this year, our annual Halloween disco, and a very popular Glow disco for the first time in Spring. Since completing the KS2 play equipment, we have been funding a number of comparatively smaller items, based on our staff wishlist, and our next major focus will be the KS1 and KS2 courtyards, which we look forward to helping with in the coming year!
