Decisions about how PSA's funds are spent are made carefully, working closely with the school leadership and teachers to understand the school priority needs.
In general, the PSA would fund the purchase of one-off equipment and facilities. The PSA would usually not fund recurring expenditure, including the maintenance of equipment that the PSA has previously purchased for the school. Each year the PSA aims to give each class teacher £300 to top up resources as needed.
To identify the needs, at the beginning of each academic year the school leadership team would compose a wish list and give this to the PSA executive committee. Each item in the wish list would be considered and competitive costings would be sought to understand feasibility. In general terms, a subset of the items in the wish list would be funded, given budget and other considerations. The PSA executive committee would have the last word on how its raised funds are spent.
