Prepared by:
Nigel Hampton- Trustee
Overview
In this, our seventh Annual Tru5tees' reporting period, the group had fresh impetus and enthusiasm
with many new parents joining the group who helped organise 7 fundraising activities/ events
throughout the year.
The Parent Support Group would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the parents and local
businesses for their incredible generosity and support. Your contributions, whether through time,
resources, or donations, have made a significant impact on our efforts to enrich the school
community and enhance the experiences of our children. We truly appreciate your commitment and
partnership, and we look forward to continuing this meaningful work together.
The group's objective is to organise a range of events that would bring parents, children and members
of the local community together to have fun, foster relationships and raise much-needed funds for
play and ICT equipment for the school.
The events organised had something for everyone, providing social platforms to promote the school,
the school family and importantly helping to raise awareness of the work of the PSG in striving to
enhance the quality of school life by providing state-of-the-art equipment and teaching aids.
