Participatory Budgeting is back for 2022!
Participatory Budgeting is a way that everyone involved in the school community has a direct say in how money is spent. We are gathering ideas for how a percentage of Pupil Equity Fund money can be spent.
We would like your thoughts on how we can spend £1,960 (5% of Rigside Primary School’s PEF allocation) to support the learning and health and wellbeing of pupils directly affected by poverty.
You will get a vote for the final ideas in the Participatory Budget vote at the end of this month!
