Finance & Funding at St Cuthbert Mayne
Governors of a voluntary-aided church school are responsible for contributing towards the cost of running the school and this includes a proportion of new building work. In order to fund this the Governors have to raise money for our extensive programme of refurbishment and redecoration.
To assist us, the Government makes available an annual sum for repairs and refurbishment, provided the governors can find 10% of the cost. For us this represents excellent value for money as it means that for every £100 we raise the Government gives us a further £900.
In order to achieve this, families of our students are asked to make an annual/termly contribution to the Development Fund. This year the suggested annual donation per family is £40. This can be paid either as a lump sum or in termly instalments of 2 x £15 and 1 x £10.
Gift Aid declaration
If you are a taxpayer you can also complete a Gift Aid declaration which enables us to claim back any tax on donations at no extra cost to you. For every £1 that you donate, we can get an extra 28p from H.M Revenue and Customs. Please see the link to the Gift Aid form below.
This a voluntary contribution but we hope that you will see this as a good way to support the school. Please see below a link to the relevant forms for completion and return to the school’s Finance Office.

Disadvantaged Pupil Premium Funding
The Pupil Premium funding was introduced by the Coalition Government in April 2011 to provide additional support for looked after children and children eligible for free school meals. More recently Pupil Premium funding was extended to children who have been eligible for free School Meals at any point over the last six years. This is known as Ever6.
This extra funding is made available to schools to help them narrow the attainment gap that exists nationally between students from disadvantaged and more affluent backgrounds.

Summer School Funding
Total funding received: £14,880 (2021)
St Cuthbert Mayne School used the DFE summer school funding by investing in an external organisation to provide activities related to transition for all children in year 6 joining the school in September 2021. The programme was delivered by Big Steps and took place over the summer holidays. Pupils are provided with a smooth and extensive programme where they then arrive on their first day of school excited about the next chapter of their education, rather than feeling apprehensive about the journey ahead of them.
The programme was both educational and fun with curiosity central, to inspire pupils to learn. The timetable was interactive, challenging and had clear outcomes. There was a clear focus on identifying the needs of each pupil and then working with them to maintain their literacy and numeracy levels so that gains in primary school were not lost in transition.
After the success of summer 2021, St Cuthbert Mayne have continued using the Big Step programme every summer since. Visit our year 6 transition page to find out more.
