PTA Chair Report
Annual AGM
th
Wednesday 18 September 2024
Welcome to our PTA AGM. It'5 lovely to see many of you here tonight.
Objectives.
The objectives of the PTA are to organise fundraising events and activities where possible,
and make these as much fun as possible. to involve as many people as we can, and to access
funding and grants on behalf of the school where applicable. As parents, grandparents,
carers and teachers of the children of the school, we are automatically members of the PTA.
This year, we continued to see an increase in active membership which made our events
very enjoyable.
We held a range of events with lots of different teams working with us to deliver them. The
support from our community has been overwhelming. We do these events to brin8 our
community together, deliver a fun and engaging event to our families whilst raising money
for our children's education.

This year there are 2 resignations. Co-chair Rachel Breame and Secretary Lucy Everrett,
leaving the following roles available for re-election, these are: Co-chair and Secretary. For
the PTA to continue. the role of Chair and Secretary must be filled. From a personal point of
view, I have really enjoyed my role as Co-chair. We've each taken on events that we've
wanted to do, but it has also enabled us to take a back seat on other events. The joint efforts
of this team have led to some incredible fund raising and some fantastic school events. It has
been tough at time to organise the events we do, it takes time, lots of communication and
hard work. But seeing the enjoyment from the children and families, and the impact the
money ralsed has on the school makes it all worthwhile. I will continue to help with future
events and in any other way I can.
We are now looking for input and ideas from members new and old who are also willing to
help implement them, and in so doing, support our school. If you do have any suggestions.
these can be made at PTA meetings, by email, or by finding us at the gates during drop off
and pick up. We are very keen to have sub committees to take on events to help spread the
load.
The AGM is the PTA'S only formal meeting of the year, covering committee elections, and the
treasurers annual financial report. Before we commence these formalities, I would like to
take fth moments to extend some thank-you's.
Firstly, thank you to the members of the committee who somehow manage to pull
together and put on some fantastic events throughout the year, despite full time jobs,
children, husbands and many other things getting in the way.
Further to the committee, I would Ilke to of course thank Mr Fielder, Mrs Cork and all the
teachers. We are extremely grateful for your continued support.
We would also like to thank the office staff for helping with our admin and the caretakers
who are forever dragging put tables, opening and closing the sheds, disposing of rubbish etc.
We have also received many generous donations from local businesses, who have all been
,Indivldually thanked.
It goes without saying, that without all the PTA helpers, who generously bake, man stalls,
lend equipment, sponsor, donate and contribute, there would be no PTA events
A summary of last year (since January):
In March, we held our Golden Ticket Wonky chocolate bar sale to celebrate World
Book Day. This raised £2071.89- a fantastic amount and an event which created
much excitement and enjoyment for the children. These were kindly sponsored by
Oakheart Property Estate Agents, Oakview Landscapes, Studio Hed8 Architects,
Chamberlain Home5 and Haswell Aesthetics.
At Easter, with the help of Oakhart Property Estate Agents, Chamberlain Homes,
Queen's Head and Haswell Aesthetics, we were able to gift over 400 easter eggs to
the children.
In April, we held an adult's quiz night at the Orpen Hall. Great fun was had by all and
we raised £365.07 (this was the amount raised from both quiz nights held).

In May, we gifted each yéar group £100 to spend on something fun to enhance arts
and cultures week. Attivities included air drying clay for artwork, Imagine
Performing Arts group visited a class and EYFS enjoyed tasting some French food.
In June, the PTA ran a refreshments stall and plant sale at Sport's Day offering lots of
tea and coffee and of course. ice creams. This raised £645.93.
Frozen Fridays took place throughout June and July selling Fce creams outside the
school gate5 every Friday. We were very lucky with the weather and raised £413.26.
In July, we held our Summer Fayre. We sold raffle tickets and had some ama*ing
prizes donated by local companies. The children enjoyed the inflatables and games,
and the adults enjoyed the food and drink. We also had the privilege of listening to
the school choir and watching the winners of Heathlands Got Talent. We ralsed a
grand total of £4,646.33 (higher than originally announced due to a later payment of
wristband sales from the school gateway account).
With the help of a few parents, the fireworks shed was re-roofed to make it
watertight and given a fresh coat of paint. An area has been cleared to allow a new
shed to be installed to house the pre-loved unform. Hopefully this will happen in the
autumn term.
Throughout the year we have had several pre-loved uniform sales. We have an
amazing team who work hard to ensure families are able to buy uniform at
reasonable prices and prevent clothing going to landfill. These have raised £44120.
Bag2School has collected unwanted clothes items from the school raising £200.
Head tebcher for the Day was another very successful fundraiser. taking place in the
last week of term, raising £427.
The Money raised this year has enabled the school library to have a complete
refurbishment. We are very excited to see the finished work and share this with all
the children and parents.
There is a full Treasurers report to accompany this report. I hope this year that the PTA will
continue to gain more support and build upon what we have previously achieved. I wish
everyone well.
Best wishes
Raclfrl Breame and Carrie-Ann Swinger- Current Co-chairs

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 

**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees** Charity Name **On accounts for the year Charity no ended (if any) Set out on pages** (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **DD / MM / YYYY** . 

**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of  the Trust’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** [The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to **examiner's statement** undertake the examination by being a qualified member of [insert name of applicable listed body]]. _Delete_ [ ] _if not applicable._ 

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: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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.
