As a maintained school, our budgets are 'delegated' from the County Council. We work off a tight budget and we have to be creative in our requirements and bolster our finances with fundraising activities. This enables us to offer the children enrichment activities we may not otherwise be able to do.

This year GCC has funded the renovation of our Ivy room which has been turned into a beautiful calm space. The room is already being used for a variety of different activities.

A very generous donation has been used to transform our Early Years provision and give us a larger usable learning play space in all weathers.

The sports premium budget has been used to boost our playground facility with play items, to fund additional activities on our residential and within our PE curriculum, and a new bike shed to maintain our current assets.

We are in the process of securing funding for our trim trail and looking to grants for additional items for the new classroom.
