Hi all! I’m Emma and I work at Pakeman Primary School!
I know this is an unusual fundraiser but our school needs your help! The percentage of UK local authority maintained primary schools in deficit has rocketed 62% in a year to its highest level since current records began.
For the year 2024/2025 starting in April, our school budget only stretches to meet the basic needs of our children and to pay the salaries of our staff. By next year we will be stable financially again because one of our local schools is sadly likely to close due to low pupil numbers in our area. This will save us from April 2025 but we need help for NOW!
Can you help us to make learning engaging? Can you help us to have adult support for all our children with additional needs? Can you help us to maintain our school site?
The impact this will have on our children will be unmeasurable! Please help us!
