Student Feedback - School Fundraising Course

Having just completed the above course I just wanted to say separately
how supportive I've found my tutor, David Poppit.  His comments have been extremely
helpful and it's been really good to get so much in-depth response from
him.  I've done many on-line courses over the last 10 years but this
course has definitely been the best in terms of tutor support and I've really
appreciated that. -  J Marchant, School Business Manager

Pupil Premium Set to Double (England)

Sarah Teather, the children and families minister, has announced that funding for the pupil premium will double to £1.25bn.  The funding for the pupil premium – a policy devised by the Lib Dems which gives extra money to schools for each pupil eligible for free school meals. It will double from £625m to £1.25bn in 2012-13. The rise is part of the coalition's overall plan to increase the funding pot for the pupil premium to £2.5bn by 2014-15. Pupil premium could be extended to include any pupil who has been eligible for free school meals in one of the past three years, covering 21% of pupils, or any pupil eligible in one of the past six years, covering 24%. This would widen the scope of the premium and reduce the pressure on many schools' budgets. But that also means the extra funding will not be targeted exclusively at the most disadvantaged.

The Giving Machine - School Fundraising

One of the easiest, cheapest, most sustainable ways to raise money:
Free cash donations for your school. Over 360 participating online shops pay TheGivingMachine a sales commission for directing shoppers to them. We forward these commissions as free cash donations to the shopper’s chosen school. All you have to do is tell your school’s parents, most of whom will already be shopping online, to ‘shop and give’ for free at www.TheGivingMachine.co.uk
