CHAIR'S ANNUAL REPORT
The committee have had a great 12 months, increasing our total profit from 2023 by
c.33 %, taking our total for 2023124 to a fantastic £12,596.06.
The success that we have had is, as always, testament to the hard work of the
committee, the great support from parents, carers and teachers and the invaluable
support from the SLT, Louise, Sue and Stella in the office and Mike and Steve, our
site managers. The support we have received from Sarah since taking over as
headteacher has been extremely positive and the relationship between the PTA
Committee and the SLT has strengthened over the past year.
Over the course of the year. we have organised discos, a Christmas fair and
Elfridges shop, an Easter egg hunt, a summer fair, a Year 6 leavers disco and a new
golden ticket event, which went down very well with the children. Alongside these
events we have run a number of mufti days as well as organising personalised
artwork via School Fundraising for Mother's Day and Father's Day. Having a slightly
larger committee this year has made a big difference and the collaboration with the
new Class Reps in relation to volunteering for recent events has been positive.
We have been able to fund a number of items for the school this year which are
detailed in the Treasurer's report. These include bark for the Peace Garden, live
pantomimes, Christmas parties and bookbags for our new Reception starters, which
the committee have agreed to fund each year. We are looking forward to working
with the school this year to provide a donation towards reading books for the whole
school and the start of our long-awaited trim trail.
We have many exciting plans agreed with the school for 2024125 with some new and
exciting events including a Laser Show and a Colour Run. We also plan to hold our
annual Summer and Christmas fairs, easter egg hunt and the Wonderlicious golden
ticket event will return for World Book Day for 2025.
Samantha Coppock decided to step down from the committee late 2023, due to work
commitments but we thank her for her support during her time with us. All current
committee members have nominated themselves to continue in their roles for the
current academic year.
A huge thank you from all of us for the support we have re￿ived, and we look
forward to an exciting year ahead.

the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting
records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with
those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosLJres
in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such
matters. The Pro￿dureS undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the
accounts present a 'true and fair, view and the report is limited to those matters
set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which
gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met,
or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
