What is the Maintenance Fund?

All Saints’ is a ‘Voluntary-Aided’ Church of England school, which means first and foremost that your children benefit from an education with a Chrisian Ethos. It also means that the Governors are responsible for major or essential works to the buildings or grounds which can range from anything such as fencing to roof repairs. All these are funded by contributions to the maintenance fund. 

Every year, we ask parents to make a financial contribution towards this. With the help of these contributions, we are able to buy in to a scheme arranged by the London Diocesan Board for Schools. This acts rather like an insurance scheme and helps to unlock funding for maintenance of the buildings and capital projects at the school.

 

Why is any additional funding needed?

Without your support we would not be able to maintain and develop the school to the level we currently enjoy.  If we were unable to make Maintenance Fund contributions essential works would not happen and the school would quickly fall into disrepair.

The Governors do not ask parents to donate a specific amount, but ask that you give what you can afford, with the hope that everyone will participate according to their means.

 

Why are we asking parents to contribute?

The school does not have any “spare” funds from which to make the annual Maintenance Fund Contribution, so parents are asked to make voluntary donations. The Diocese calculates how much we need to pay, based on the number of pupils we have and the number of those pupils eligible for Pupil Premium.  In turn, the school asks parents to contribute to the Maintenance Fund by paying an amount recommended by the Diocese.  Currently, the recommended minimum donation is £40 per pupil, per school year.
