Financial Information

Private School Fund

Leys Junior School is a local authority maintained school, and receives the majority of its funding from the local authority. Schools can also generate their own income, for example from fundraising activities held throughout the year. This income is kept separately from the local authority funding, and is known as the Private School Fund.

All monies within the Private School Fund are kept in a separate bank account and are the responsibility of the school Governing Body, with operational responsibility passed to the Headteacher. As with public funds, the Private School Fund is subject to financial controls, and schools have a duty to make sure that accurate financial records are kept, and that the fund is audited annually by an independent auditor.

As contributors towards the Private School Fund, parents are entitled to view the audited private fund account. Anyone wishing to do so should contact the school office.

The Private School Fund is used to provide extra resources, activities and equipment for the children, that we would otherwise not be able to buy. It plays a vital part in financing the enrichment activities offered by the school. Some examples are:

Visiting theatre companies
Subsidising coaches for trips
Enhancing our outdoor spaces
Buying equipment and supporting the growth of our Forest School
Financing guests and resources for to support our pupils to have a variety of experiences and opportunities

Monies raised are shared on our Keeping Connected newsletter which is sent out every Friday
