Notes/Comments on accounts for 2024-25
-
Income has exceeded expenditure for the third year in a row with the balance to end the year/start the new year in a healthy position. The income also included a payment of £7000 from the Renfrew Area Partnership fund as well as the first instalment of the Tesco Stronger Start Grant (£1125). We still await £2000 from the Glasgow Airport Flightpath fund but have yet to purchase a variety of playground equipment, budgeted at around £1000-£1500.
-
The Christmas and Summer Fayres make up the majority of our income (outwith the grants). The Christmas Fayre income increased again this year against previous years and Summer Fayre income was up on 23/24. Stall income is also up but we increased the stall hire charge to £25 at Christmas and then £30 at Summer. Historical trends are shown below:

Other main income included the Halloween and Spring discos, school calendar sales, class fundraising (xmas cards etc) and easy fundraising.
-
The largest single expenditure was on the playground lining (£6583.75) paid for with the grant funding received. Other major expenditure included school trips for P1-6 (£1396.00), supplies to run both fayres (£1384.17), contributions to P7 leavers hoodies, ties and their ceilidh band (£860.00) as well as printing the school calendar (£538.80).
-
With the school sensory garden now nearing completion, spend across the year on this was £2364.53. We also purchased a variety of wooden and plastic benches for the garden and playground totalling £930.00.
-
A set of 50 tracksuits for sports events were purchased for communal use across the upper school at a cost of £700. The pupils had also requested sports strips and we hope to be able to support this request, this year.
-
The final significant spend this year was on the road safety signs and banners which totalled £553.18. This along with the ongoing messaging/road safety campaign has significantly reduced traffic immediately outside the school.
