Receiving income from Combe Bank Education Trust to be used towards refurbishing the school kitchen.
Collecting donations towards the school swimming season, and providing funding to the school to cover the season costs.

The trustees have considered the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, ensuring there is an identifiable benefit to the school, and they are committed to enable all pupils as possible to access trips and clubs.
