Trustee Report for the period beginning 1 September 2024 to period ending 31 August 2025

Charitable Purpose

A Parent Teacher Association with the aim of fundraising for St Stephens Church of England Primary School (“the School”) with a view to enhancing and advancing the education of the pupils in the school.

Trustees

All trustees are recruited from the parent / carer / teacher community within the school. The following trustees served for the period covered by the report:

Francesca Fortunati – Co Chair
Kate George – Co Chair (stepped down part way through academic year)
Louise Baum – Treasurer
Crystal Taylor-Judd – Trustee

At the FOSS AGM in October 2025, two new Co-Chair were voted in by the school community - Jessie Pickwoad and Louise Mackie. Louise Baum and Crystal Taylor-Judd remain.

FOSS would like to thank both Francesca and Kate for their efforts and support during their tenure.

Objectives and Activities 2024/2025

To engage in activities which support the school and raise funds to advance education opportunities for the children
To foster and extend relationships between parents, carers, staff and those associated with the school community.

Achievements 2024/2025

Total Profit from Fundraising Activities: £85,188 Total Donated to School: £63,374

This represents a decrease in fundraising profit of £16,420 compared to the previous year.

The change in fundraising profit was driven largely by lower overall income from some large events compared to the previous year (including bike ride and summer BBQ). In comparison to the previous year, there were no equivalent large grants ether.

A full breakdown of fundraising events and profit, along with a breakdown of how funds were donated to school can be found in the accounts.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2025 which are the Income and Expenditure Account and the Balance Sheet and the notes to the accounts.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Charity’s trustees 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 Charity’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:
