The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) Of The Cookham Dean Church of England (controlled) Primary School

Registered charity number: 1014698

AGM Treasurer’s Report for Year Ending 31 August 2025

The balance of the PTA account was £33,455 ( 2024: £25,126 ) and the balance of the Voluntary Contribution Fund (VCF) account was £22,106 ( 2023: £15,753 ) at 31 August 2025.

Receipts

Fundraising

Total funds raised in the current year are up circa £4,000 when we compare to the same point in time in the prior year. The year over year favorable movement is explained by a charity donation received by Centrica, ( £1,500 ) Mini Marathon proceeds which was a new event in the year ( £1,447 ) as well as an increase in funds raised ( £1,000 ) from the leavers versus remainers cricket match. Also we have had the full impact of not including drink stock in the event numbers, so overall events we would expect to be more profitable.

The payment of £2,469 paid to VCF in 24/25 represents the gift aid in respect of 24/25 and the Benevity match funding paid over to the school. As at the 31[st] August the PTA owe the school £1,210 in respect of VCF donations not transferred from the prior year. As at the time of the AGM all amounts have been paid over the school.

The breakdown of the fundraising for the current year is presented below.

Headline events for terms 1 & 2 are The Gravity Grand Prix with the headteacher competing, generating donations as well as funds from the usual café. Christmas tree sale and Christmas raffle are also significant money makers. We also successfully raised a whopping £ 444 from the sale of chutney, as well as £ 1,100 from the mulled wine event at Copas at the end of the year.

Terms 3 & 4 saw an incredible amount raised by the much loved Swimarathon, as well as a significant amount raised from a new Mini marathon event, which was also thoroughly enjoyed by the children.

The impact of these two events combined meant for significantly stronger result for the middle term of the year.

The key event for terms 5 & 6 is the summer fete. The current year raised less when compared to the prior year, most likely attributed to a date clash with scouts. Funds raised from the Leavers vs Remainers cricket match, quiz and Legoland has meant that this term was a huge success in terms of money making for the school.

Other general income generating sources of PTA funds during the year are outlined below.
