We spent a lot on the children’s wellbeing
e.g. Christmas Presents, Cinema Trip, Easter Eggs etc.
Our total income from the Fundraisers was £12197.38 And our total expenditure was £3636.70
Our Balance on 1 September 2023 is £11461.35
We have a very healthy balance but the need to be proactive in fundraising remains very important to provide the resources for the children.
Please Note:
We have funds earmarked for the following which will come out of the PTA account in Sept/Oct 23
| Online Tool | Target group | Cost | Duration |
| TT Rock Stars/Numbots | P1 - P7 | £315 | 1 year |
| Now Press Play | P1-P7 | £2443 | 1 year |
| Bug Club | P1-P4 | £485 | 1 year |
| £200 Resources Budget per class |
All 11 classes | £1799.80 (£400.20 already spent in June 2023) |
|
| Total | £5042.80 |
This means that while our balance looks healthy there are £5k+ of expenditure to come out in the near future and so the urgency to maintain our fundraising remains.
Thank you all for your support for the PTA.
