2004-July 2005 During
the current school year we have purchased a number of items for use in
school: Every
year we give £100 to each year group (£800) to pay for Christmas
presents to be used in the classroom. Last Christmas Board Games, Outdoor
Toys, and a Puppet Theatre were just some of the things the staff decided
to spend their money on. KS2 children discussed the spending of their
money at a School Council Meeting and it was agreed that they would buy
some new goal posts for playtimes, a wooden bench for the junior
playground and a netball post, this took them £150 over their allotted £400,
so the School Council organised a fund raising event at a lunchtime to
raise the short fall. This
year instead of a Summer Raffle we decided to hold a Summer Fayre, and
even though the weather was against us we raised £1200, we would like to
thank everyone who supported us, and helped in any way. During
this school year KS2 children were split into four House Groups, we
purchased a cup to be presented each week to the house with the most house
points for that week. The cup is on display in the hall, next to the tree
of achievement. At
the beginning of the year it was decided that the school piano was beyond
repair, and a new one was purchased at a cost of £1100. Our
next purchase will be a Personal Address System for the school hall; at a
cost of £706 this will be used on a daily basis for assemblies, PE
lessons and also at Christmas Plays and concerts throughout the year As
you can see all the money raised is ploughed back into school in a variety
of ways, and funds projects which just aren’t covered by the school
budget. Your
continued support is invaluable – THANK YOU ALL
