Structure and Trustee Recruitment
We, Stocks Green School Association (PTA) rely solely on volunteers to exist. We recruit parents of children attending Stocks Green Primary School by speaking at parent engagement events at the school and advertising in the school newsletter and by email to all parents from the school. The committee always has a Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. All other roles and responsibilities are shared amongst the committee members depending on individual skill sets and availability. It is mandatory to step down after 3 years of service on the committee with a minimum of one year before seeking re-election. All new committee members stand for election at our AGM.
Activities and Objectives
The PTA exists to fundraise to help purchase extra resources for Stocks Green Primary School activities. 2024/25 was another fruitful year of fundraising. The PTA ran a successful Stocks Fest for the second year, which made just under £9,000 profit. This was a great amount considering costs for some items had more than doubled on the previous year. Stocks Fest had incredible feedback from parents and the local community. The PTA was featured in two national PTA magazines along with photos by parent Gemma Swaite.
Achievements and Performance
This year the PTA have been able to fund key projects, equipment and initiatives. Highlights include the VR workshops, stationery, water play equipment, phonics resources and a marquee. The last three years have seen fundraising efforts boost profits and the PTA have gone from raising on average £4,000 to £8,000 per year, onto £11,000 in 2023/2024 and then finally to £25,000 profit in the last academic year.
Financial Review
The most profitable event this year was Stocks Fest (£8,802.89 profit), followed by the Christmas Fair (£4,569.23) and then the Sponsored Marathon (£2,628.16). The PTA funded various school projects; classroom resources £1,400, VR workshops £680, a marquee £611.25 and Year 6 Leavers Books £460.35. Overall, the PTA made a profit of £19,488.46 and on the 31[st] August 2025 had a closing balance of £24,984.88. The following projects were also voted through during the academic year, Water play equipment (£877), Phonics resources (£1,605) and Stationery (£6,000).

Dear sirs
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of the Stocks Green School Association
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Stocks Green School Association (the PTA) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the PTA you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the PTA’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the PTA as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Yours faithfully,
