PSA News AGM
On Wednesday, we held our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where Ben gave an update on what the PSA has achieved over the past 12 months. Our main goal for the year was to fund a school minibus — and we’re thrilled to say that, thanks to a huge team effort, the minibus has now been purchased and is already being used by the school!
In addition, we’ve been able to fund the installation of a new trim trail, which is set to be put in place over the Easter holidays.
Pippa gave a finance update and confirmed that we’ve raised an impressive £11,011.67 over the year. While the minibus was a major expense, we currently have just under £4,000 remaining in the account — with a further payment due for the trim trail. This still leaves us with a healthy reserve to support future PSA events and initiatives.
At the AGM, Ben was re-elected as Chair, with Ali and George continuing in their roles as Vice Chairs. Flor was elected as Secretary, and as we write this, Meg has put her name forward for the role of Treasurer.
We also said goodbye to two long-serving PSA members — Pippa and Claire — who are stepping down. Both have been hugely committed members of the PSA during (and before) Ben’s time as Chair. Their hard work and dedication have left the PSA in a strong position, and we’re incredibly grateful for all they’ve done. We’re also pleased to say they’ve offered to continue supporting events in the future when needed.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the PSA this year — we’re looking forward to what’s next!

These lovely people will be there to provide all your PSA info and for you to share any ideas, offers of support or feedback you might have. Our aim is to get the whole school community involved as much as possible. This isn’t only about raising money for a minibus. This is about creating opportunities for everyone to come together and raise as much money as possible to support all aspects of school life to benefit all of the children.
We have a number of PSA events taking place over the next few weeks for you to get involved with, either by attending, volunteering to help or donate prizes. We really do appreciate all of the help and support that you can give to these events. Please spread the word to friends, family, neighbours, anyone who might be interested, about our fundraising efforts.
