Building Effective Relationships In order to ensure the long-term future of the school swimming pool we have been engaging with the local community. One of our main achievements was introducing an online swimming pool booking system which has ensured the whole community can easily access the benefits of swimming. The money generated through this contributes the costs of the swimming pool. Community members have also worked with the KTSCA on the SPLASHOUT III project. This will replace ageing plant room equipment and refurbish the pool. We have received grant money and donations towards this project. |

Para 1.20 | See above (Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.) Advancement of Education In order to provide workshops and equipment, we also hosted several fundraising activities throughout the year, many of which were open to the community. We hosted a Dinosaur ‘Egg’stravaganza, autumn event with pumpkin hunt and dragons, school discos, secret room gift events, Christmas fayre, raffles, non-uniform days, cake sales and a colour run sponsored event. Building Effective Relationships Introducing the online swimming booking system this year has enabled us to effectively engage with the community and offer everyone the opportunity to enjoy the health benefits of swimming. The money received from this will enable the school to continue to provide swimming as a curriculum activity and cover day to day running costs of the swimming pool. The SPLASHOUT III is project is a community project where community members have come together to support the KTSCA in fundraising for new pool equipment and pool refurbishment. This project will support the school children and wider community to live a healthy active lifestyle. |
