Structure, Governance and Management
Franche Community Primary School Association is a registered charity and is governed by its constitution (adopted 28 September 1996 as amended 25 September 1997 and 8 May 2007). The committee and trustees are appointed at the Annual General Meeting each September and serve until the commencement of the next Annual General Meeting. Meetings are held throughout the year, and usually at least once per half term from September to July and are open to the committee and any other members. The committee of trustees and other elected ‘ordinary members’ are responsible for the day to day running, and the financial and legal aspects of the charity.
Objectives and Activities
The object of the Association is to enhance the education and experiences of the pupils in the school. We aim to achieve this by provision of facilities and items for education that would not otherwise be provided by statutory funds.
We were pleased to return to many of our normal events this year, after the disruptions of the Covid pandemic, although there were still some events that were restricted, especially around Christmas time. As well as all the larger events that raise important funds, we also ran many smaller events throughout the year, which all add up.
Other fundraisers included:
-
Uniform sales
-
Christmas Cards
-
Online raffles
-
School teatowels
Second hand book sale
We were fortunate to receive a £1000 grant from the Forterra Community Fund towards our fundraising for the swimming pool. This, along with funds raised from events enabled us to be able to pledge to school £21,000 towards the first stage of the project, works which took place over the Summer of 2021.
We also aim to extend the relationships of staff, parents and those associated with the school and seek to do this by involving them in the events organised throughout the year. Trustees have read the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the activities carried out demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public.
Achievements & Performance
All events during this period recorded a profit. The association has this year donated funds to be used by each year band for educational resources, as well as purchasing outdoor resources, year 6 leavers’ books and and donating towards the Orchard project, amongst other things. We have also continued to fund items for all pupils such as a book for a Christmas gift, and a digital pantomime for all to enjoy. Platinum Jubilee celebrations and commemorative items were also funded.
A Financial Review
The statement of the activities shows that the costs of the charity were covered by its income. The money raised is done so via fundraising events held throughout the year.
The Trustees consider it necessary to maintain reserves at a level that enables the charity to meet the costs through the year.
Declaration
The Trustees declare that they approve the Trustees Report above.
