SUMMARY OF ORLEANS PRIMARY PARENT & TEACHER ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES DURING THE YEAR
As with prior years OPPTA was able to run a full schedule of events with the support of the school, parents, carers, and teachers. Consequently, OPPTA had another strong year for fundraising, with net receipts significantly greater than the costs of running the various activities and the administrative expenses of the PTA (insurance/membership costs, IT, banking costs etc).
The primary sources of income for OPPTA came from tickets to events, and from sales of goods/services/experiences at both ticketed and non-ticketed events. Significant fundraising occasions included the St Margarets Fair (£2k), the Christmas Fair (£8k), Quiz Night (£3k), and a number of discos and movie nights (£3k).
Additionally, the PTA was able to generate significant income from Sponsorship activities, the annual Bounceathon event and the summer fair, Ongoing fundraising activities such as cake sales and used uniform sales also contributed meaningfully to overall net funds generated.
In summary, OPPTA raised some £29k in net proceeds for the year after fundraising and administrative expenses, which was slightly down compared to the prior year. However, this was also supplemented by a large number of donations meaning gross receipts, not including interest, totalled some £71k, broadly in line with the prior year.
OPPTA funded substantial awards and grants to the school in the year, totalling £53k. Significant payments in the period included the purchase of various school resources including Chromebooks (£16k), resources including books totalling circa £3k, and funding for various improvements across the infrastructure of the school (£17k) including refurbishment of rooms and the playground as well as supplies.
There was a surplus in the net movement in funds of circa £6k for the year which meant the PTA was able to finish the year with a significant cash surplus (£41k), circa £6k higher than the prior year’s closing position. Thanks to this healthy cash balance at the end of the year the committee will be able to consider additional important expenditure possibilities during the year 2025 – 26, even allowing for the committee's prudence buffer of around £2k for unforeseen events and working capital needs, It is not the committee's strategy to build uncommitted reserves and the committee has outstanding commitments to several projects and is actively considering a range of further funding proposals.

The committee and trustees wish to place on record their sincere gratitude to all supporters of OPPTA for their ongoing generosity and time commitments to help make these fundraising events a success, particularly at a time of considerable pressure on household and corporate finances, and to help enhance the school environment for the benefit of all members of the Orleans Primary School community.
