Fundraising


next to our school. There will be three phases over the next couple of years to extend housing supply in our village. As the most local primary school, we are making steps to apply for Section 106 funding so we can utilise the money available. Section 106 is a legal


agreement between a developer and a local council. It can release funding to deliver projects within the local area that are designed to ease the impact of a new development on the local community. Ideally, we would like to


build a multi-use games arena that’s artifi cially turfed. This would allow our pupils to use it throughout the year, and it would also be available to hire to local community groups. The village is in need of some extra sporting facilities and such a project would cement our place at the heart of the vibrant community with which we already work.

The application will take


shape over the next few months and will be the largest the school has applied for. We have also teamed up


with our local Co-op to ensure no pupil goes hungry. The Co-op is donating any food that is two days away from going out of date across its meat and poultry, bakery and fresh food ranges to us. We then create food parcels for our families who are eligible for free school meals. So far,


the Co-op has donated the equivalent of more than £1,000 of food over just one term.


December I was over the moon when I received news that we have been awarded more than £8,500 from the MOD Education Support Fund we applied for in September. This money was awarded on the strength of our application for more nurture provision and the ELSA training. This was


a tremendous boost in the last few weeks of term and will really help with our planning for the next fi nancial year. We are keen to work with as


many companies as possible on a range of projects. I use LinkedIn to build my network of contacts, as well as meeting up with those running local businesses in person. Do contact me on 01285 860335 or email kparker@ annedwardsprimary.co.uk if you think you can help.
