Dear Parents,
I am pleased to tell you that we have secured adequate funding to go ahead with
retiling the dining hall roof. The work will be undertaken during the summer holidays and
should be completed by the start of the new term in September.
The funding has been obtained from a grant received from the Westminster
Diocese plus money we receive from the government for capital projects. As many of you know
we have to provide 10% of all such funding as we are a Voluntary Aided school and the
building is owned by the Diocese. We have been able to achieve the 10% from your
contributions to the School Building Fund, support from the PTA through fund raising events
and a loan from the Diocese of £4,700, repayable over a period of 2 years. We are very pleased
to have achieved our target of retiling the dining hall roof this year.
For your information we have put the report on the school finances for the year
2008/9 on our website: www.stcanterbury.herts.sch.uk which you can view via a link on the
Governors’ page.
We are hugely grateful to everyone for providing the support that is so important
in enabling us to undertake the many projects necessary to maintain the school. We would
particularly like to thank the PTA for all the work that they do in organising and running fund
raising events. We know how much it takes to run events successfully and there have been some
very successful events, most recently the Summer Fayre. Equally, these events are only
successful if they are supported by everyone, parents, staff, children and governors, so we would
like to say a huge thank you to everyone.
On behalf of the Governors,
Dr Breda Jackson
