Chairs Annual Report
The committee have had a great 9 months as a new PTA.
The success that we have had is, as always, testament to the hard work of the committee, the great support from the parents, carers and teachers and the invaluable support from the SLT, office staff and Mike and Steve, our site managers. The support we have received since we have taken over as a PTA has been extremely positive.
| also wanted to say a massive thank you to all the parents for volunteering, donating and helping us which we would not have been to do without your help and support. It would not be possible to run all these events and watch every child enjoy themselves.
Over the course of the year, we have organised two discos, an Easter egg hunt, a summer fair, a Y6 leavers disco, wonderlicious and a new colour run event. This went down very well with the children and parents. Alongside these events we have run several mufti days as well as organising personalised artwork via school fundraising for Mother's Day and Father’s Day.
We have been able to fund several items for the school this year which are detailed in the treasurer’s report. This includes Y6 leavers disco, Christmas class parties and bookbags for our new reception starters, which the committee have agreed to fund every year. We are looking forward to working with the school this year to provide a new outdoor learning space for Y1.
We have many exciting plans agreed with the school for 25/26 including a laser show and the colour run, summer and Christmas fairs, Easter egg hunt, wonderlicious golden ticket events for 26. We are also planning on having Y5 and Y6 first aid trained.
A huge thank you to all of you from the PTA and we look forward to working with you again this year.

« to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by 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 disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures 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.
