## Report from the Chair 

7 


The CSA has had another busy and successful year, bringing together the wonderful school community, and providing over £40,000 to school for trips and resources that have advanced the education of our children. Due to the teams hard work and enthusiasm the CSA was able to fundraise over £58k, an astonishing total, which will be used in projects to come. Throughout the year, we’ve had a dedicated Committee in place, along with many other volunteers, to bring activities and creative ideas to life. 

The CSA calendar has been fully packed again this year, maintaining our popular fundraising events such Fireworks night, Wreath making, Winter Wonderland fair, Quiz night, Sponsored run, Movie afternoon, Alternative class photos, Summer Fair and Camping weekend. We were also able to offer free activities available to all school families such as the Halloween and Easter trails, leavers events and yearbooks for Year 2 moving on to KS2, plus a summer sketchbook for every child to use over the holidays. 

Partnerships have been a key part of our success this year, as we maintained and grew relationships with local businesses and organisations. This year also saw an amendment to our constitution to fundraise on behalf of the wider school federation and junior school - Carlisle and Hampton Hill Juniors Federation. Of particular note, our Federation sponsored run raised an incredible £11k+ with 40 parents, staff and friends running to support our schools! 

Emma Gooden will be taking over the role of CSA chair for the coming year and another great team of trustees is in place. Thank you to all of the families, staff and partners who have supported the CSA this year - none of it is possible without you! 

Louise Bloom, CSA Chair 2024-25
