2022 Trustee Report

It’s been another challenging year for Cherry Tree and the PTA! But the school and the PTA have worked extremely hard.

A number of events were unable to happen with caution remaining in place. It has been a real team effort and massive thanks goes to the school staff for playing a key role and hosting events in school whilst coping with the demands of the school day.

We have raised over £22,000 from events and sales in the year. In addition, we raised over £29,000 from grants and donations. We’ve spent over £55,000 on resources for the school.

Activities/Events

A huge amount of hard work was carried out again by a core of dedicated volunteers to organise enjoyable event between September 2021 and July 2022. These included:

• The Santa Dash. This raised over £4,100.

• The summer festival was hugely popular and it was great to hold one this year. This raised over £2,400

Expenditure

The largest expense relates to the EYFS donation. On the closure of St Mary’s playgroup charity they transferred their excess funds to PTA as a similar charity, in accordance with the charity commission rules. This money has been donated to school specifically for EYFS related expenditure.

Over £20,000 of funds were used for outdoor play equipment.

All children continued to benefit from whole class music lessons – one of the largest item that the PTA funds (c. £4000 p.a.).

The school would also like to maintain whole class music lessons.

Membership

One of our strengths is the continued dedication of a core team of parents and staff. Although we attracted a couple of extra members who have become active within the PTA, it is a very small group of people who organise each event and we simply couldn’t achieve the amazing sums raised without their continued commitment.

2021/2 has been a challenging year due to the continuing pandemic. The financial position of the school is getting tougher, so the support of the PTA has never been more needed.

It is also more important than ever going forward that we attract new parents to engage with the committee and start to volunteer. This will ensure continued strength within the PTA.

Communications

We continue to feed information through the head teacher who includes it in her regular school newsletter. We regularly use the school PA Connect system to issue updates and reminders.

Within the committee, the WhatsApp group is an excellent way of making quick decisions and we continue to utilise this as our main means of communication between meetings.

Thank you

I must again give a massive personal thank you to the incredible people who work on the PTA team.

We are always grateful for the help given by all the team in the school.
