With the summer holidays just around the corner, here are a few things to do before the end of term to set you up for a strong start this September.
  • Celebrate your hard work! 
  • Share your highlights of the year and how much you raised with your school community 
  • Thank your supporters 
  • Meet with the headteacher to review the year and ask for feedback 
  • Discuss rough plans for next year with your members 
  • Pencil in some rough dates in the diary for next year’s plans 
  • Review your finances 
  • Declutter and organise your physical stock (don’t forget to check expiry dates!) 
  • Make sure all equipment is in working order 
  • Declutter and organise paperwork and digital files (making sure to comply with GDPR) 
  • Check your details are up to date with your online accounts 
  • Plan handovers and recruit new members if anyone is stepping down 
  • Prep for new starters and their parents (welcome packs, coffee mornings) 
  • Organise your AGM 
  • Take a well-earned rest!
