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	This was our second year as QEGSA, following the re-launch by the invited Chair. The QEGSA Committee, supported by the Class representatives, have been working very hard to achieve our goals for the benefit of our whole school community. QEGSA activities in this second year have included: ● Christmas 2023 fundraising_via_an Auction of Promises, which relied on the goodwill of our parent community to donate experiences and gifts for auction, supplemented by our local and extended London network of business supporters who donated experiences and services. ● Promoting donations to QEGSA directly and indirectly through a fundraising website. ● Liaising with our school to determine a larger fundraising target after our initial goal of purchasing picnic benches for the pupils was achieved. ● Organising a series of leadership events and after-school talks by

		inspirational speakers from various industries. This year, we have arranged fantastic talks by our parent community and extended network in the fields of finance, law, project management and publishing, with exciting opportunities for the pupils to listen to senior leaders, ask questions and consider their options for career pathways. ● Supporting the school in competition research, careers, gathering of work experience placements and University events. ● Hosting a Summer Fair 2024 which was a wonderful opportunity for our pupils to showcase their incredible entrepreneurial skills - running stalls of every variety - and their enormous range of talents. Our pupils, parents and teachers came together to enjoy the school grounds, with a picnic buffet, tombola and hamper raffles adding to the fun. As before, our Committee meetings took place once every half-term and Class reps were invited to attend. The Class rep system continues to create opportunities for discussion and communications between parents. Information has been circulated by the Committee. Parents have engaged and formed support networks, which have benefited the girls and the wider parent community. An AGM date has been set for October 2024 in order to present the activities of the previous academic year and to discuss future plans and improvements for the next year.
