ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Usuallythe school have a'wish list, of items that theywould like to purchase. The PTAFAwere
able to provide additionalfundingtowards these 8Xtr8 resources not provided for by the school
budget. These resources are used to compliment the curriculum and make our children's
learnlng experience more fulfilling and exciting.
PTAFA events not only raise funds but also promote a positive presence within the communlty
and bring a feeling oftogetherness within the school.
Academic year 2022-2023 felt like a bit of a whirlwind. Itwas the first-year Post ¢ovid that we
were able to run normal events. We had lots of events that included.
Halloween and Valentines disco
Lantern Parade
Sponsored slide
Crazy hair day
Smarties (20p)
Reclpe books
The most successful ev8nt for us wgs the sponsored slide. I believe that a sponsored event
should be In the calendar each ye8r as it is mlnimum effortfor a high return. The188St profitable
event W8s crazy hair d8y SS there were a lot of familles that didn't P8ythelr£l fee, We also gave

back to the school a lot this year by payingfor the coronation tea, refreshments at sports day
and the P7 leavers BBQ.
We were also very successful gaining gr8nts up to the value of 4000 pounds. This w88 for
sensory equlpment, and coronation celebrations. Grants are a fantastlc way of bringing money
in for very little effort.
All the moneythat has been raised throughout the ye8r all went towards the Happy Hut. To date
we have paid for carpets, blinds, electrlc, tarmac and maths equipment.
However, none of these successes have come handed to us. It was the support ofyou all and
the tlme that you dedic8ted to the PTA that made these outcomes. I would just like to personally
thank you allfor your support and I promise I will not have any crazy ideas thls year such as the
lantern parade, so l expect no one to resign.
Moving onto the year ahead our aim is to develop the outdoor area and cre8te an outdoor
classroom. There has been grants put in but so f8r, we have not had any outcome on these. We
need to be reallstlc and understanding th8t there is a cost-of-living cri$18 golng on. We want to
create a fun excitingyearfor the pupils and the community but also croate some mu¢h-needed
moneyfor our school.
