Thomas Bullock Trust Trustees Annual Report
This report is for that Financial year ending March 2024.
It has been very good to be able to give the Thomas Bullock Primary Academy a grant of £66,000. Some of this money was paid to cover the grant that should have been received during the previous 18 months when we were unable to access the bank accounts. As always this grant helps towards the cost of music tuition in the school and towards the cost of the Forest School teacher. The Trust also contributes to any school trips that are undertaken by the children.
Further grants of £36,000 were paid to University students and for school trips and bus passes.
The Trust had a bill for nearly £10,000 from Birketts solicitors which was incurred in order to reinstate access to the bank accounts.
The Trustees have had to undertake some repairs in the Pre school building and the Pre school continues to thrive.
