JGHS Parent Council Small Sums Fund

What is the Small Sums Fund?

The Small Sums Fund is intended to provide additional resources to support and enhance the
experience of youngsters in the school and in extra-curricular activities, in areas where
funding is not provided by the City of Edinburgh Council.

It provides a mechanism to distribute funds raised by the Parent Council back to the school community, to support the aims of the Parent Council as set out in its constitution:

to raise standards of education in the school
to secure improvements in the quality of education which the school provides, and
to develop to their fullest potential the personality, talents and mental and physical abilities
of the pupils attending the school
