School Finance Report October 2023
Our £3,800 Creative Learning Network grant has enabled six days of supply cover to support Dounby staff when they have been presenting to national conferences and visiting local schools to share our excellent practice in developing learner led curriculums. It has also helped to purchase additional art and design materials, a new digital camera and sound recording equipment for all our pupils to use.
Our Pupil Equity Fund has been being put to very good use with £553.59 spent so far on our new Heinemann Active Maths programme and some of our Seesaw licensing being paid (453.63). The remaining money is going towards our new library and learning spaces and the renewal of our Heinemann license.
Our School Fund has a working total of
£7,485.59 up until the end of October 2023. Since August, we have funded
£153.73 for school jotters, £370 for additional classroom stationery and monies
to cover the costs of our schools trips in June 2023. We are projecting a
£2,000 spend on a school trip for each class in session 2023-24, which reduces
our available monies to approximately £5,500, so your donations and support
make such a difference. For example, our recent Christmas Cards fundraiser has
made £391.23, and that will cover the costs of nearly 2 buses for an excursion.
