Para 1.20 | In this accounting period, a total of £23,893 was raised through charitable activities, the main ones are detailed below: Throughout the year a number of classes hosted their own cake sales to raise funds for the Foundation. A total of £503 was raised throughout the accounting period.

Two second hand uniform sales took place and raised £130. In July 2021 we launched the smarties fundraising challenge where all children were given a tube of smarties and were asked to do chores or good deeds over the summer holidays to earn 20p pieces to fill the tube and to return after the holidays. This raised £521. We held three ‘break the rules’ mufti events throughout the accounting period where children pay £1 to wear mufti plus an additional 50p for each rule they break e.g. wearing nail varnish; colouring their etc. A total of £1,204 was raised. One of our trustees completed the London marathon in October 2021 and two parents completed a sponsored bike ride in July 2021.

The Foundation continues to receive Amazon smile donations. For this accounting period they totalled £263. The total donations received during this accounting period totalled £25,057 which included the following: £10,000 match funding from the Corton Hill Trust to go towards the school’s outdoor learning provisions. It is worth noting here that the Corton Hill Trust paid £50,000 into the Foundation bank account in error which was paid straight back to Corton Hill Trust by cheque. This prior to the £10,000 match funding being received. £2,000 from All Saint’s Church in the village to go towards the school’s outdoor learning provisions. £1,000 from the Crondall Triathlon donation to go towards the school’s outdoor learning provisions. £6,152 raised via Crowdfunder to go towards the school’s woodland outdoor classroom. £1,800 from the Toyota Charitable TGB following a successful bid application to go towards the school’s outdoor learning provisions. This money will be used to purchase a new golden mile running track which has been ordered but is waiting for more favourable weather before installation this is likely to be Spring/Summer 2022. The money will also go towards the removal and remarking of the ball playground marks and the purchase of multipurpose goals. Again these have been ordered but we are waiting for the goal ends to be built and more favourable weather for the line sand blasting and remarking which is likely to be Summer 2022. The remaining amount has been raised through family donations. In November 2019, a Foundation Charity page was added to the school website so parents were able to find the information required to donate to the Charity .
In this accounting period, £3,610 was donated to the school to pay for the following: A computer subscription was purchased to embed computing and digital skills across the whole school curriculum with awardwinning teaching and learning software for KS1 and KS2. Two day PSHE Life Base workshops took place across all years to promote positive behaviour, mental health, wellbeing, resilience and achievement which included free online access to SCARF to support great learning every day. Little Wandle on-line membership was purchased to support the school’s new phonics reading scheme to ensure high quality consistent teaching of phonics and early reading for every child in every classrooms and to help continue to grow a love reading in the school. A Spanish online subscription was purchased for KS2 to provide a complete suite of teaching resources for every Spanish lesson. This includes interactive teaching materials covering a wide variety of cross-curricular topics with all instances of the foreign language pre-recorded using a native speak and fully controlled by the teacher. An online complete curriculum spelling resource was purchased to allow the teaching and practising of spellings in the class, remotely or using a hybrid teaching and learning solution. It includes a complete, printable scheme of work organised into 36 weekly word lists for each year group, embedding logical progression and review. The remainder was used to purchase SeeSaw for another year - the home learning and homework platform, which was used extensively during lockdown and which continues to be used by all classes for homework. Other expenditure totalling £17,376 was spent on charitable activities included the following main purchases: Purchasing of class specific outdoor learning equipment through for Years R, 1 and 2 from the money raised from their
sponsored walks in the previous accounting period. The installation of the school’s new Woodland outdoor learning classroom for use by all years throughout the year whatever the weather. The installation of the musical instruments in the traditional playground for the children to use at break times. The production of a new school video to promote and market the school to increase pupil numbers. The promo production is now on the front page of the school website. Various purchases for the school allotment which is now up and running and managed by parent volunteers who work with a class rota each week.
