Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
We had another successful year of fundraising, and for that we give thanks to the PTA members, as well as PTA volunteers, including the parents and carers at the school, as well as the staff members who give up their time.
The most successful event of the year is the annual Music in the Park event, which made approximately £13,000 profit. We also held three discos, which generated over £1,200 profit, as well as several other fun events, including a Summer Fayre and sponsored Bounce event and Christmas Elfridges event. Additionally, we were the grateful recipients of a donation from a charitable trust of £10,000, which will be used to further the charity's aims.
The PTA were able to make a number of donations to the school, including paying £25,000 towards new playground equipment and facilities (including a running track) for all children to use. There was also a contribution to the year 6 leavers books and party. On top of this the PTA paid for all children to receive a Coronation bookmark.
