Hinchley Wood Primary School Association (PTA)

~~a~~ Annual Report ~~ee~~ 2023/24

1. Objectives of the PTA

The Hinchley Wood Primary School Association (“HWPSA” or also referred to as the “PTA”) aims to enhance the educational experience of all children at HWPS and to foster a strong sense of school community within the school and with our wider local community. Our main objectives are:

2. 2023/24 Challenges and opportunities

In contrast to previous years, the PTA committee has run with a full complement of volunteers for roles this year. We have retained the governance structure which has evolved since covid of a central committee to work all year on:

NB: The PTA is potentially subject to audit by the Charities Commission of England and Wales. The trustees (mostly the Committee) are liable for decisions made.

…and groups of volunteers to work on specific events, including but not limited to:

*alternating each year

As will be described further along in this document, the main challenge of 23/24 has been to develop opportunities to distribute funds. The school has indicated that PTA contributions to wall art in the corridor leading to the new library would be welcome, as would support for development of the garden outside the back of the library. However, we haven’t received requests for funds. Similarly, we have engaged the school throughout the year with a view to donating funds to cover costs of:

However, the school have been unable to complete requests for funds for these at the time of writing. We are confident that through more regular meetings with the school leadership, we'll move forward in finalising a plan alongside the school leadership team to distribute funds in the right ways to enrich our chilrens’ and families’ school experience. This is the top priority for the Committee in 24/25.

3. Financial Position

Our financial position is extremely strong, following a year of successful events, and careful management. Total net fundraising for the year 2023-24 was £32,861 (2023: £25,995) thanks to the amazing efforts from all the volunteer parents and carers who organised several events throughout the year (see below).

Total cash balance as of 31[st] July 2024 amounted to £60,629 which included the bank account balance of £60,599 (2023: £30,433) and cash on hand of £30 (2023: £30) (kept in the school).

4.Expenditure

This year has been unsatisfactory in terms of expenditure. The school has been unable to complete their requests for funds. The PTA contributed funds towards the following:

Year 6 Leavers

For the last few years, the HWPSA has contributed to cover the cost of Year 6 ‘Leavers Books’. We feel that it is an important and symbolic use of funds to create a sense of unity among the students and a lasting memento. We also contributed towards the Year 6 Disco and paid for an Ice Cream van. Per the table above, in the year 2023/24, the HWPSA contributed £1,980, and we expect to contribute similarly ongoing.

5. Events (selected)

The Fireworks - (November 2023)

The HWPS fireworks is a regular, and extremely popular event in November each year. It is often oversubscribed, and sometimes HWPS parents who would like to attend, are unable to get tickets. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Belinda and the Fireworks team, there was a fantastic atmosphere on the night, and unsurprisingly extremely well attended. 2024’s event is already almost fully planned, and we’re looking forward to another great family evening in November.

Net Profits: £4,923.

2022 - £5,503 (including £1,607 of matched funding).

Christmas Fair (December 2023)

The Christmas fair was extremely well attended, and widely reported as a success. Both Teachers and Volunteers threw themselves into organising the day, and providing a large variety of activities for families that came.

Net Profit: £5,710 (including £1,004 of matched funding).

2022 - £4,146 (including £953 of matched funding)

Christmas Cards (December 2023)

We undertook the Christmas cards initiative again this year : parents/carers order online greeting cards (and some other items) with their own child’s artwork through an identified supplier. The PTA receives a fixed commission for every item purchased. This is popular with many families, especially younger year groups.

Net Profit: £997

2022 - £535

Golf Day (June)

The PTA Golf Day is now an established fixture of the school Calendar and an annual highlight for the “golfers” among us. There was a particular focus on keeping hydrated on a warm day.

Net Profit: £1,559

2023 - £1,032

Cake sales/ Ice-lolly Sales

Our weekly cake sales are a deliciously simple way to raise funds. Each class is assigned with a particular date on a Friday during the school term and the parents bring some home baked or bakery bought treats to sell just before the end of the school day.

Net Profit: £6,800

2022 - £4,108

Quiz Night (March)

The Quiz Night happens every other year, and 2024 blew the doors off. Carl and the team of volunteers threw everything at what can only be described as a massive night out for everyone. All competing quiz teams got thoroughly stuck into the fancy dress theme of the evening, and some spectacular memories were made (and lost).

Net Profit: £3,643

Y2 - Y5 Disco

The 2024 year-group discos were a runaway success, with all being almost fully attended. It took some strong resolve from Katy and the team of volunteers to get these events approved and planned, but now that these have happened once we will ensure that they will return annually. Well done to everyone involved. While the purpose of these was to have a fun event to enrich the childrens’ experience of school, we did also generate some funds.

Net Profit: £615

Summer Fair

Another enormously successful summer fair which was almost ruined by the wholly rubbish weather. The playground was mostly underwater only a couple of hours before families arrived, but in spite of this, a hugely successful event took place, with children, parents and teachers all coming together to have fun and take part in all the games, and enjoy the food and drink on offer. A huge thank you to all involved.

Net Profit: £7,969 (note: this includes £3,609 matched funding received in August which will be reflected in next year’s accounts)

Wine & Cheese Evening

A great deal of effort went into the detail of the cheese and wine evening this year, and guests were rewarded with an absolutely fabulous evening. Well done to everyone involved.

Net Profit: £1,175

Tea Towels

Tea towels with the childrens’ self portraits have proven extremely popular once again this year.

Net Profit: £1,943

Second Hand Uniform Sales

This year has seen us really step up several gears in running 2nd hand uniform, and this has required a great deal of effort by the volunteers involved. This scheme generates funds for the charity, but equally important drivers in this initiative are environmental sustainability, and ensuring that the least amount of brand new uniform need be bought by any family, saving household costs.

Net Profit: £804

Corporate sponsorship

This year we secured great corporate sponsorship from local business, for example:

Donations via easy fundraising®, AmazonSmile and similar platforms

In 2023/24, the PTA received £23 (2023: £593) in total through easyfundraising and Charities Aid Foundation. The reduction is due to the closure of the AmazonSmile scheme.

6. Governance & management

The HWPSA is an unincorporated association and relies wholly on the voluntary effort and contributions of its members to carry out its objectives and activities. All parents or carers of children at Hinchley Wood Primary School automatically become members of the HWPSA. In order to allow us to be able to work more effectively we operate under the Parentkind Constitution, which has been approved by the Charities Commission and adopted by many PTAs across the country.

Any member of the HWPSA / PTA can attend the monthly committee meetings and vote at the AGM. HWPSA officers are elected at the AGM for a renewable term of one year, and these officers and members of the PTA organise all fundraising events, with oversight from the HWPSA committee. HWPSA expenditure is also scrutinised and agreed at the monthly committee meetings.

Thank You

It remains hard to attract volunteers both to lead and support in running events, and this has limited what we are able to do. Ours is a thriving, but busy community, and the ability of the PTA to do more, is only limited by the number of volunteer hours which are committed. We will continue to run fewer events really well, rather than spreading ourselves too thinly and risk events being cancelled.

As parents and carers, it is extremely rare that any of us have any ‘spare’ time to give, and many people have sacrificed their personal time to make the PTA both successful and effective this year. For that, on behalf of the PTA, we are extremely grateful to all volunteers and everyone who has supported the events, and who has made it possible to not only keep operating, but also to have some fun as families in the process. Many individuals and teams, too numerous to mention, have worked hard throughout the year to build and execute events, and we should congratulate them, and thank them for a job tremendously well done.

Events are held at the Primary School, unless otherwise stated.
