Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
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	Despite the continued challenges we have faced following the Covid-19 pandemic and cost of living crisis, the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) has had another successful year, with numerous thanks to many people who have helped. I would like to thank the many trustees and committee members who stepped forward this year. Events only happen because people voluntarily give up their free time to help and the level of commitment has been phenomenal. Sometimes it can feel like it's a real challenge but the success of the Summer and Christmas Fair for example shows that hard work really does pay off. I would like to thank Charlotte in particular, her desire to drive the PTA forward is immense and her organisational skills are something to behold. She is very much the glue behind the scenes and her work this year has been remarkable. On behalf of the PTA, I thank you.

We received a generous donation from the CLA Charitable Trust to support ongoing playground developments which we are extremely grateful for and which will have a huge, positive impact on the lives of the children and young people within the setting. Our ongoing project of fundraising to provide inclusive play areas will improve the social, emotional and mental wellbeing of pupils with additional needs and disabilities by providing them with opportunities for engagement with both pupils of a similar ability within the setting and their mainstream peers too. At the end of the financial year, the total amount in the bank was £2237. The PTA spent a total of £7,900 on playground equipment and a memorial area to pay respects to a pupil who is sadly no longer with us.
