From 1[st] October 2024 To 30[th] September 2025

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes
of the charity as set out in
its governing document		 Para 1.17 The PTFA is a charity run by an elected
committee of parents and teachers
whose main purpose is to improve and
advance the education of the pupils at
Julian’s School by:
Providing and helping in the provision of
facilities for education at Julian’s School
including the organisation of social and
other events
To promote good relations between staff
and parents
To promote the wellbeing of pupils
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 As a PTFA attached to a school we
ensure that all our investments into the
initiatives we support aim to support all
children. We agree on this in
collaboration with the schools senior
leadership team. Some of the initiatives
we supported this financial year were:
•
Reception play area
improvements
•
Primary Shakespeare Programme
•
Year 6 Leavers Book
•
Trees for Cities scheme
groundswork
•
Year 6 leavers books
•
Christmas pantomime
•
Each year group got a pot of
funds
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity		 Para 1.18 I can confirm that the trustees are aware
of the guidance provided by the Charity
Commission. Whilst this report is
available and issued to the Trustees we
also go through a presentation of this

Commission on public benefit

information to our trustees and the reminder of this guidance is issued there each year. See the screenshot below.

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

SORP reference
Policy on grant making Para 1.38 As of today we don’t have a policy on
this and have never received any grants.
Policy on social investment
including program related
investment		 Para 1.38 Our aim as a PTFA is to promote the
wellbeing of pupils at our school and
this could be classed as a social
investment.
Contribution made by
volunteers		 Para 1.38 The Charity runs entirely on volunteers,
there are no paid members of our
organisation. Without the volunteers to
lay on the fundraising events then there
would be no funds raised at all.
Other Out core PTFA team for the academic
year referenced was made up of the
following people:
Lucy Cliff – Chair
Ellen Cockerill – Co Chair
Rowan Brown – Secretary
Stephanie Marks – Treasurer
Alison Gibbs – Marketing and social
Lara Cavazza – Co Chair West Norwood
Angelique Richardson –
Communications
Chereiss Wilson – Event Support
Holly Gardiner – Event Support
Shirin Iqbal – Event Support
Sally Rickard– Cake Sales

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 We ran over 20 fundraising events last
year and we drove an income of just
over £40k. Obviously, we have costs
attached to some of our events but we
are currently running at profit margins
of around 75% so we are raising a
phenomenal amount of additional funds
for Julians school which is needed now,
more than ever, with government cuts
and tighter academic budgets. Last year
we invested into these initiatives:
•
Reception play area
improvements
•
Primary Shakespeare Programme
•
Year 6 Leavers Book
•
Trees for Cities playground
initiative
•
Playground equipment and shed
•
Year 6 leavers books
•
Christmas pantomime
•
Each year group got a pot of
funds

Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:

Achievements against
objectives set		 Para 1.41 Having focussed the prior year on more
effectively spending the funds that had
accrued over the Covid years, our
objective for this year was to garner
more support across the school and get
more people engaged and volunteering.
•
Drive further engagement form
parents, particularly further
representation of West Norwood
on the committee.
•
Streamline the WhatsApp groups
to ensure that we had the right
people and representation across
every class.
•
Raise more, but drive efficiency –
increased costs across the board
meant that fundraising for 2024 /
2025 was going to be harder
West Norwood support improved over
the year – but was still reliant on a core
few volunteers. We streamlined comms
ensuring we had full representation for
each class across the year groups and
created volunteer community groups for
a ‘light touch ‘ participation into the
PTFA. Financially it was our most
bumper year to date in terms of both the
funds raised and the eye on costs with
profit margins being the best they have
ever been.
Performance of fundraising
activities against objectives
set		 Para 1.41 The school have been thrilled with the
support that the PTFA have provided
and were very clear that without our
support many of these initiatives simply
would have not happened.
Investment performance
against objectives		 Para 1.41 Excellent fund raising this year with a
tight control on cost has filled the bank
account again and our objective is to
find another big project (year on year
off) to save for, whilst continuing to
invest in the core initiatives every year
(e.g. Primary Shakespeare, etc.).

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end
of the period		 Para 1.21 Our CC16a form has been completed
along with our own financial systems
submitted for independent examination,
a summary is here:
Starting balance Oct 1st 2024: £37,887.32
Income: £43,279,70
Outgoings: -£42,079.33
Closing balance 30th Sept 2025:
£39,087.69
Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held		 Para 1.22 We don’t have a policy to holding
reserves – as an organisation we have
no fixed costs that must be delivered at
any given time, we are a cash in and
cash out business really with no fixed
operating costs.
Amount of reserves held Para 1.22 N/A
We don’t have a policy of this but we do
try and avoid the balance getting below
£5k, and the reason being that the
summer fair needs a fair amount of
investment for that event to happen so
cost goes out, before the return comes
in, so we do need a buffer for that,
however this isn’t a fixed ‘policy’ as
such, more a sensible decision we all
make.
Reasons for holding zero
reserves		 Para 1.22 We don’t have any fixed costs
Details of fund materially in
deficit		 Para 1.24 We are not materially in deficit
Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern		 Para 1.23 N/A

The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)		 The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)		 Para 1.47 The majority of our revenue comes in
via fundraising initiatives, each year we
will try and come up with new ideas, but
broadly there are a series of small but
frequent events such as:
•
Cake Sales
•
Uniform Sales
•
Coffee Mornings
•
Lolly ice sales
•
We lay on social events such as:
•
Wreath making
•
Fish and Chips Quiz
And we do 2 larger events throughout
the school year:
•
Festive Friday
•
Summer Fair
Community participation from these
events drives most of our revenue but
we do also see money come in via:
•
Private donors
•
Estate agent boards as sales and
marketing to drive revenue
towards funding the summer fair
•
We sell stalls to outside traders
at the summer fair
•
We also have some revenue that
comes through via school
cashback schemes.
You will see this colour coded on our
financial sheets.
Investment policy and
objectives including any
social investment policy
adopted		 Para 1.46 N/A
A description of the principal
risks facing the charity		 Para 1.46 We are at the mercy of volunteers, if
people don’t hand raise, events can’t go
ahead, but we are a big school of 5 form
entry so we are unlikely to experience
this, but it gets increasingly harder to
get people to hand raise.
