The Charity is registered with the Charity Commission and is a member of PTA UK, with its own constitution. Membership consists of all parents and/or guardians of pupils attending St Mark’s CE Primary School, Tunbridge Wells, and all teaching staff. The Association is non-party political and non-sectarian.
The Annual General Meeting is held each September or October. The Association is managed by a Committee elected at the AGM, consisting of the following officers: Chair (or Co-Chairs), Honorary Secretary, Honorary Treasurer, and up to three further Committee Members. Bank account withdrawals require the signature of any two Officers.
Jackie Tsui served as Treasurer from 1 September 2024 until 27 March 2025, at which point YiTing Teng continued as sole Treasurer for the remainder of the financial year. The Secretary position remained unfilled throughout the year.
Aims, Objectives and Public Benefit
The object of the Association is to advance the education of the pupils at the school. In furtherance of this object, the Association:
-
Develops extended relationships between staff, parents, and others associated with the school.
-
Engages in activities which support the school and advance the education of pupils attending it.
-
Provides and assists in the provision of facilities or items for education at the school (not provided from statutory funds), as the Committee, in consultation with the Governing Body, determines from time to time.

St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells — Trustees’ Annual Report
These aims are carried out by organising social, educational, and fundraising activities, and through donations of funds directly to the school for agreed purposes. The trustees work in partnership with parents and the school’s senior leadership team to identify needs and ensure activities support the school’s priorities and development plan, providing public benefit to the school and the wider Tunbridge Wells community.
Achievements and Performance
The Association’s principal income stream is raised through running social and fundraising events for the school community, which also build relationships between staff, families, and the local community. The trustees thank everyone who volunteered and supported events throughout the year.
The Round Table again generously donated £1,000 towards playground upgrades, and the relationship between the Association and the Round Table has continued to develop, including support with firework ticket sales and Christmas event resources. Lettology kindly sponsored signage boards for the Summer Fair.
The Association’s biggest fundraising events were the Summer Fair (£8,009.36 raised) and Christmas Fair (£6,663.85 raised), alongside a successful Cinefest week culminating in an outdoor cinema event, which raised £4,781.55. The Year 6 Legacy sub-committee, organised by outgoing Year 6 parents, raised £2,290.73 towards a sun dial and playground upgrades, including a Year 5/6 disco and pupil-organised playground sales.
The Association continued to keep events affordable and inclusive, including second-hand uniform sales, and aims to continue running budget- and environment-friendly, SEN-friendly activities in the year ahead.
Looking ahead
-
Introducing a sign-in/sign-out system for sharp or dangerous items used at events.
-
Applying to HMRC for Gift Aid recognition on eligible donations, once the bank account name change is confirmed.
-
Growing the Association’s network of local advertisers and business connections.
-
Minor housekeeping amendments to the PTA constitution, subject to Charity Commission approval.
The Association’s registered name was formally changed during the year from ‘Tunbridge Wells St Mark’s School Parent Teacher Association’ to ‘St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells’, with no other changes to the charity’s objects or structure.

| TOTAL | 26,600.22 | 21,321.35 | 5,278.87 |
Total income for the year was £26,600.22 and total expenditure was £21,321.35, giving a net surplus for the year of £5,278.87. This reconciles to the Association’s combined bank balances (current account plus savings account): total funds held were £10,094.15 at the start of the year (1 September 2024) and £15,373.02 at the year end (31 August 2025), an increase of £5,278.87. A same-day banking correction of £600 (20 September 2024) has been excluded from both income and expenditure as it represents a reversed payment rather than genuine activity. A transfer of £1,500 from the Association’s savings account to its current account in November 2024, and £1,550 transferred back in July 2025, are movements between the Association’s own accounts rather than income or expenditure; savings account interest of £27.46 earned during the year is reflected as investment income above.

St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells — Trustees’ Annual Report
The Association holds no assets other than cash held in its bank accounts; it has no liabilities.
Donations to the school
Each year, the school proposes a ‘big item’ for the Association to fundraise towards. Fundraising for that item takes place across the financial year, but the donation is typically paid to the school early in the following autumn term, once the total has been confirmed. As a result, the donations shown below for 2024/25 relate mainly to fundraising completed in the prior year (2023/24) — principally the outdoor canopy — together with several smaller, regular annual donations (reading scheme, book bags, pantomime trip, and similar) agreed and paid during this year.
The 2024/25 financial year’s own ‘big item’, playground markings (£7,000), was the focus of this year’s fundraising but was not paid to the school until November 2025, after the year end, and so does not appear in the figures below. It will instead appear as expenditure in next year’s Trustees’ Annual Report. The amount committed is funded from this year’s surplus together with reserves carried forward from previous years.
During the year, the Association donated a total of £9,860.59 directly to St Mark’s CEP School:
| Item | Amount (£) |
|---|---|
| Contribution towards outdoor canopy | 5,037.82 |
| Prior-year (2023) Y6 Legacy gift, transferred to school | 672.00 |
| KS2 pantomime trip | 1,790.00 |
| KS1 school trip | 619.00 |
| New starter book bags | 227.50 |
| Reading scheme (“Read to Succeed”) | 1,500.00 |
| Y6 leavers’ graduation pins | 14.27 |
| TOTAL DONATED TO SCHOOL | 9,860.59 |
Reserves Policy
The Association holds no investments other than cash held in its bank accounts. The Committee’s policy is to donate funds to St Mark’s CEP School as soon as the school identifies a need that falls within the Association’s charitable objects. At 31 August 2025, the Association’s reserves include funds raised during the year towards playground markings (£7,000), which were committed to the school but not yet paid at the year end, together with a modest working reserve to cover fundraising costs and regular expenditure such as insurance and annual licences.
No funds were expended on the governance of the charity during the year; trustees and committee members gave their time and other resources freely.
Declaration
The trustees declare that they have approved the Trustees’ Annual Report and accounts above for the financial year ended 31 August 2025.

St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells — Independent Examiner’s Report
Independent Examiner’s Report on the Accounts
Receipts and payments accounts
Section A — Report
| Section A — Report | |
|---|---|
| Report to the trustees of: | St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells |
| Charity number: | 1037130 |
| On accounts for the year ended: | 31 August 2025 |
| Accounts set out on pages: | 7 |
Responsibilities and basis of report
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Charity”) for the year ended 31 August 2025.
As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 145 of the Act and to state the matters set out in this report.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 (other than that disclosed below*) which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
* Please delete the words in brackets if they do not apply.

St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells — Independent Examiner’s Report
| Name: | Craig Kelly |
|---|---|
| Relevant professional qualification(s) or body (if any): |
None — examination conducted under the income threshold below which no professional qualification is required (gross income does not exceed £250,000) |
| Address: | 2 Summervale Road, Tunbridge Wells, TN4 8JB |
Section B — Disclosure
Only complete this section if you need to highlight material matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners). If there are no matters to disclose, this section may be left blank or marked ‘None’.
Notes for the examiner
This report follows the Charity Commission’s standard template for the independent examination of receipts and payments accounts (form IER, October 2018), adapted for St Mark’s CEP School PTA Tunbridge Wells.
Before signing, please confirm:
-
You are independent of the charity — you have not been a trustee, employee, or otherwise involved in preparing these accounts at any point during the financial year being examined (1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025).
-
You have reviewed the Trustees’ Annual Report and accounts, the underlying bank statements (current and savings accounts), and the categorised transaction record provided to you.
-
The accounts agree with the accounting records (bank statements and transaction record), and the figures in the Trustees’ Annual Report are consistent with them.
-
No professional accounting qualification is required for this examination, as the Charity’s gross income for the year (£26,600.22) is below the £250,000 threshold at which a qualified examiner becomes mandatory. A competent, independent person without a formal qualification is sufficient.
If, in the course of your review, you find anything that doesn’t reconcile, looks irregular, or otherwise causes concern, please raise it with the trustees before signing, and note it in Section B above rather than leaving it unrecorded.
