A tower of pound coins
If we stacked the we gave the school in £1 coins, the tower would reach , which is about as tall as London buses balanced on top of one another.
£1 coin = 2.8mm thick · double-decker bus ≈ 4.4m tallWe'll update this page as each event's total comes in, so you can follow the money as it's raised, see what's coming up next and watch the class bake sale league take shape over the term.
Each fundraiser adds another step to the line as its total comes in, and the grey markers show the events we still have to look forward to before the end of term.
Each year group takes its turn behind the cake table during the term, and this is where we keep track of how every class is getting on.
These are all the events we have planned for the autumn term, from the class bake sales and the Halloween Disco through to Christmas, so you can pop the dates in your diary.
Thanks to everyone who baked, bought, performed and volunteered, this is what our school community raised over the year and exactly where every pound went.
This year we donated to the school, which is more than the we raised, because the new trim trail was paid for with money we had saved from our 2024/25 fundraising alongside the proceeds of this year's events.
We donated to St. Augustine's this year, and three quarters of it went on the new playground trim trail, with the rest shared between class activities, new books, the Year 6 leavers and an Easter egg hunt.
These are the profits from each of the year's main events once their costs had been covered, ranked from the biggest earner down.

At this year's bake sale takings of , the new trim trail would have taken us almost 18 years of bake sales to pay for, so a big thank you to everyone who baked, bought and helped us save up for it.
We've taken the same figures and measured them in buses, elephants, bingo balls and advent doors, which is completely ridiculous, but every single one of them is true.

£1 coin = 2.8mm thick · double-decker bus ≈ 4.4m tallHad we been paid in 1p coins, this year's donations would weigh , which is roughly the weight of an African elephant, so we're very grateful for bank transfers.
1p coin = 3.56gFamily Bingo Night made , which works out at that much for every one of the 90 balls that were called on the night.
The Christmas Fair made , which is like finding that much behind each of the 24 doors of an advent calendar.
It was a close contest, but the mince pies beat the ice lollies this year, so the Summer Fair has a score to settle in 2026/27.
We started the year with in the bank and finished with , which carries forward into 2026/27.
The difference is mostly the new playground trim trail, which we paid for this year using money raised in 2024/25, because saving up over the previous year is what allowed us to give the children something this big.
