Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

BUSBRIDGE INFANT SCHOOL PTA ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS TRUSTEES, ANNUAL REPORT The trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025. Trustees The names of the charity trustees managing the charity on the date the annual report is signed are as follows: Mrs R Greatbatch (Chair) Mrs P Williams (Vice Chair) Mrs H Buckley (Treasurer) Mrs K Hulme (Secretary) Mrs A Chalk (Headteacher) Structure Governance and Mana ement Busbridge Infant School PTA was formed in 1978. It is constituted by Articles of Association adopted at that time and subsequently revised in 1995. The Association became a Registered Charity on 23 October 1997 (Charity Number 1064985). New trustees are appointed or re-appointed annually by the members of the charity. Membership of the charity is open to all parents and guardians of pupils and teaching staff of the school. Ob'ects and Activities The objects of the charity set out in its governing document are as follows: 1. To advance the education of the pupils of Busbridge Infant School. 2. To develop more extended relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school. 3. To engage in activities which support the school and advance the education of pupils attending it. 4. To provide and assist in the provision of such facilities and items for education at the school which are not usually provided from statutory funds. The charity's activities focus on organising various fundraising extra-curricular events for the pupils, staff and parents, and providing assistance to the school on special events. In planning our activities for the year we kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Any purchases are made in consultation with the Head Teacher and teaching staff and generally comprise items that would not otherwise be funded by the Local Education Authority (LEA) or South Farnham Educational Trust which the school now is part of. Achievements and Performance The PTA has had another brilliant year. We started the school year with £21,311, raised £29,280 during the year with £17,978 profit on events and spenucommitted to £19,333 on the school. The PTA also had expenses of £329 and ended the year with a closing cash balance of £31,126. Full details of the contributions are included in the accounts.
We raised £5,097 from the Summer Fete and raffle, £1,804 from the Summer Camp, £1,005 from the adult quiz, £947 from wreath making and Bouncing for Books raised £1,984. We introduced the great fun 2025 challenge which raised an impressive £2,099. We also ran several events for the children and parents to simply have fun which is one of the aims of the PTA. Break the Rules Day raised £365, Elfridges raised £1,011, the Disco raised £411 and the Sports Day refreshments raised £255. The children also designed Christmas cards, sales of which earned us £270 profit. Thank you to everyone involved in the Christmas trees this year, we made an amazing profit of £1,338. We were able to give BIS funds of £6,806 over the course of the year as well as helping with small additional extra gifts to provide fun for the children. This include covering the costs of things such as books, furniture and IT for the school. We additionally committed to a donation of £12,500 for the proposed woodland shelter. The PTA relies entirely on the voluntary efforts of its committee and parents to organise and run events and activities. All such work is greatly appreciated, and many of our profits are generated entirely due to the generosity of people giving time and resources. This money makes such a difference to the school. Future Plans We will be supporting the expansion of the IT provision within school, funding more enjoyable experiences for the children and supporting the completion of the woodland shelter.
