Trustees Annual Report for the year ended 31st August 2023
The Trustees of the Westbury Park Association (WPSA) present their annual report in accordance with Part VI of the Charities Act 1993 and applicable regulations. The names of the Trustees are listed later in the report.
WPSA structure, aims and objectives
The WPSA is a registered charity run by the Trustees, who are parents of children, or staff at Westbury Park Primary School. The membership of the Association comprises all parents and / or guardians of pupils attending the school and all the staff. The Officers and Ordinary Committee Members (the Trustees) are elected on an annual basis at the AGM.
The WPSA operates in accordance with its Constitution, with the main objective of advancing the education of pupils in the school. This is achieved through making donations/grants to the school:
-
Raising funds to enhance available facilities and resources in the school curriculum;
-
Developing a sense of community within the school;
-
Supporting the school’s links with the wider community.
All parents, carers and staff are automatically members of the WPSA.
Class Representatives (two to four volunteers from each year group) also play a key role in the operation of the WPSA. They are responsible for:
-
Forwarding WPSA emails to their Year Groups;
-
Running one cake sale and lolly sale per year;
-
Organising one annual fundraising event;
-
Running a stall at the Christmas Fair;
-
Promoting the WPSA generally and encouraging people to volunteer.
Funding Raising Objectives
The School Leadership Team identified the 2022/23 funding objectives in support of the School priorities, which included ICT, focus on the People, year group enrichments activities and development of the playground. The objectives, which were agreed by the WPSA Committee are set out below.
| School Hall refurbishment Year group enrichment activities House Enrichment activities Playground Equipment Total Funding Target |
Target £16,500 £2,800 £1,500 £1,500 £22,300 |

School Hall
Update the school hall to enhance wellbeing and highlight the importance of healthy eating, assemblies, performance and the creative arts. Spending includes new tables and seating, new audio/visual equipment, flooring retreatment, updated windows and blinds and outside storage for chairs.
Year Group Enrichment
Our staff work incredibly hard to deliver exciting lessons where children are inspired to learn. Part of this learning revolves around WOW days which might take the form of a day hosted in school by staff or a visit from an expert.
House Enrichment
Whole school activities focussing on the emotional and social wellbeing of the children and developing the school community.
Playground equipment
Including improving the EYFS outside space. The children are always in need of additional equipment for the playground. This will be spent over the course of the year on consumable items.
Fund Raising Total
Thanks to the dedication of the committee and the fantastic support of parents, carers and staff, the WPSA raised £32,817.
WPSA Finances 2022/2023
| Funds at start of year Fund Raising Activities Donations to School Other expenses Net receipts/(payments) Funds at end of year Increase in Reserves |
£16,415 £30,449 £14,035 |
£32,817 £(18,643) £(140) £14,035 |
|---|---|---|
Funding target and grants/donations made to the school can be achieved through funds raised in the current year and surplus reserves from previous years fund raising. Grants/donations to the School are not always settled in the same year as the funding objective is raised. Therefore the change in reserves is dependent on the timing of when the school receive invoices for the supported fund raising objectives.
The WPSA once again organised a wide range of social events, which were enjoyed by many within the school community.
Fundraising Activities
Funds were raised from the following activities:
-
Regular Donations;
-
Cake and Ice lolly sales;
