  • £4,500 on reading books for KS1 and KS2
  • £2,600 funded the celebrations of the school’s 60th anniversary
  • £6,400 which allowed the school to bring in various authors and theatre groups to work with the children.
  • £2,000 for new playground storage
  • £1,400 allowed for a kitchen to be installed in the Creative Cabin
