As a Church Aided School, FAPS recognise that 10% of the devolved capital formula allocation is not provided by state funds, FAPS therefore raise and provide this amount to the School Governors. Additional funds raised are used to enrich the experiences available to the children, such as a vegetable garden, art week materials, fabric for school play costumes, coach travel to annual pantomime.
