Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We started with our biggest fundraiser in our academic school year, the Christmas fair, raising £17,132, including a Wreath Making workshop and the children’s personalised Christmas cards
The 2024 calendar was a huge success, which raised £3,397 alone!
We had our yearly Easter Bonnet parade and were able to offer it as a free event for all to participate in, followed by the Easter Egg hunt for all children in the school.
Another amazing year of fundraising enabled us to gift circa £28,500 to the school. This money was used for the following items:
-
Class budgets & Clubs £5,600 Each class receives £250 for the teacher to spend on items to enhance the learning environment and experience of the children. This donation also includes £1,000 towards lunchtime clubs.
-
Minibus maintenance £1,600
-
Books for SEN requirements £500
-
Violins purchased for year 3 £3000
-
Recycling £800
-
6 new Whiteboards £6,450
-
Lollipop crossing support £5,106
-
New PE Equipment £1,603
-

We are thrilled that our ongoing fundraising can help our school and children so much and without the fabulous families involved for help and donations, none of this would be possible.
