||
Parent donations, double matched by |
||
employers generated £19,198 (2024: £7,689), |
||
representing a substantial increase compared |
||
with the prior year. |

Second hand uniform sales raised £3,489 |

school of £35,475 (2024: £32,623). |
||
Funds paid to the school |
||
During the year, BSA provided £40,880 in funding |
||
directly to the school (2024: £310). This significant |
||
increase reflects the timing of funding requests |
||
approved during the year, including support for |
||
departmental bids, school commitments, and the |
||
school minibus. |
||
As a result of this increased level of support, the |
||
Association recorded an overall deficit for the |
||
year of £5,567 (2024: surplus of £30,513). |
||
Trustees consider this tobe an intentional and |
||
appropriate use of accumulated reserves to deliver |
||
benefit to the school. |
