Our Amenities Fund is therefore a very important source of revenue for us. It enables us to provide all the extra things that are not covered by our main budget, such as extra classroom furniture and resources, art equipment, cookery resources, printer cartridges, the website service, gifts, prizes, refreshments for visitors, Christmas activities and various licenses. The fund is also used to subsidise the overall cost of school trips and to contribute towards the costs of visiting authors, theatre workshops and special visits that we organise to enrich the curriculum. Please note that this only helps to reduce the price to parents and does not cover the full costs of these activities. We therefore respectfully request that all parents make a donation towards our School Amenities Fund of £10 per month or whatever you can afford. We are grateful for any donation no matter how small because every child will benefit in some way. For example, this year the School Fund has been used to subsidise the cost of our additional drama teacher who will work with every class. It would help the school if parents could pay by Standing Order; a Standing Order form is attached. We are endeavouring to make the school office cash and cheque-free and would appreciate your cooperation by using this payment method if possible. I would like to thank you for your generosity to the school. The Amenities Fund is invaluable to us and we are always grateful for parents’ support. Yours sincerely K. ELLIS Acting Headteacher PROFORMA – to be returned to the school office Please tick to confirm how you will be donating to the School Fund.
