This year we presented 9 carKtidate5 to the DELF diploma: 5 at level B1 and 4 at level B2. The Exams took pLace in June 2024. All our students passed the DELF exam with flying colours. Beyond our French teaching acbvities we held several cultural events. The 'Arbre de Noel" celebration was held the 3rd Decembre 2023 at Pollc4(shaws Burgh Hall. We also organised a Ceilidh£amaval on the 24 February 2024 at Pollokshaws Burgh Hall wth the John Carmichad ￿lidh Band.

**on reserves**|The main source of revenues are payments received from parents.
Our policy on reserve is to maintain a minimum of £3,000 in our bank
balance at the end of each accounting period (i.e. 30thof June of each
year). This way, sufficient funds are available for initial spending on
classes’ rental and teacher remunerations before we start receiving
payments from parents’ contributions.| |---|---| |**Details of any deficit**|During the school year from July 2023 until June 2024, our association made a deficit of
£1,998.
The Association des Parents Francophones made a loss of £2,729 for their running
operations. However, the school also organised a few fundraising events through the year to
mitigate this loss, resulting in £731 funds raised thanks to these activities.
The mentioned deficit linked to the weekly running of the school has been expected and in
line with our financial projection, due to the rising letting fees imposed by the school (school
cleaning fees, cleaning materials and janitor fees). We also want to ensure the same quality
of teaching by maintaining the same number of teachers and assistants despite a slightly
reduced number of pupils.
However, the Association des Parents Francophones could rely on the grant received by the
French government (AEFE) of £5,232 the year before to support the return fully to in-class
learning as well as additional support to encourage pupils to obtain a certificate at the end of
their learning experience with the school. This grant allowed us to stabilise our financial
situation before making the necessary adjustment. As a result, we had to increase the class
fees for the upcoming year, as highlighted in the minutes of our AGM, in order to return to a
profit situation. The early estimation for the year 2024-2025 indicates that the school will
make a profit for that school year.| |**Donated facilities and services (if any)**|None.

Objectives and activities Our Association "Association des Parents Francophones. also known as 'École Buissonière de Glasgow ' is a non-profit organization which aims at promoting the advan￿rnent of French education for children having a connection with the French language and who enrolled in the Scottish education system. The Association provides weekly courses taught by qualified teachers to accompany the child into reading and writing independently in French. Children attending our courses should reach a language proficiency in French comparable to that of their proficiency in English for their age level. Our classes run on Saturday momings (30 weekends per year) for 2 hours and 30 minutes. From 3 years old, children discover new games, listen to stories and express themselves in a French environment. From the Primary 1 level, we educate children to write and read letters and sounds specific to French and thus develop their learning ability, in a well-defined environment between children speaking French and a French teacher. At the end of Primary 7 level, children have developed a very good understanding of written French and can become independent reader in French and are also able to write a short text independently and confidently. For children starting high School, we developed a program preparing them to sit a Diploma in French Language Studies (DELF). 4.
