Treasurer’s Report – January 2026
This report covers the Financial Year 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025 and the period 1 September 2025 to 12 January 2026.
September 2024-August 2025
This information will be submitted to the Charity Commission in ahead of the June 2026 deadline but must be reviewed independently ahead of that deadline so that the PTA remains compliant in its reporting duties. This will be done in the coming months.
The 24/25 financial year was an unusual one for the St Peters PTA which is unlikely to ever reoccur. Namely, that the PTA was the recipient of a generous bequest of £15,000. Including the bequest, the PTA had an overall income of £34,658.47 and spent £17,033.13 leaving a total surplus of £17,625.34. Even when the bequest is removed from the equation, the overall surplus for the year was £2,625.34. While this is unquestionably a strong financial position, it is important to remember that the aim of the PTA is to remain solvent with a modest reserve of funds but not to increase any surplus and to spend the money on the students and the school so further investments in the school will be considered into the next financial year.
Events held by the PTA in the 24/25 year included: Discos in the Autumn and Valentines (profit £686.45), Bake Sale (profit £269.62), Christmas Hamper Quiz (profit £106.28) Dare to be Different Day (profit 736.52), Fireworks (profit £4886.18), Mothers’ Day Morning (cost £81.83), Leavers’ Disco (profit from 2025 event £373.07), Nativity Photos (profit £338.67), New Parents Welcome Events (cost £127.87), Open Morning (cost £31.92), Quiz Night (profit £74.55) and Summer Fayre (profit £1546.78).
Running Costs for the PTA include spending on Parentkind membership (includes insurance), fees for events and lottery licenses, bank charges (balanced out by interest earnings), and a small investment in water jugs for events.
Fundraising activities generated £1591.04 for the PTA through Your School Lottery, Asda Cashpot initiative, and Preloved Uniform sales.
The PTA received a generous and unexpected bequest through the godparent of a current pupil and this amount has been put into the PTA savings account while the PTA works with the school to determine the best way to spend this money. It has been agreed as a PTA that this money should be spent on a capital project that will leave a lasting legacy for current and future pupils of the school.
It was decided in advance of the year that the PTA would have a spending focus for the year on outdoor equipment alongside specific requests and continuing our literacy support. Over the course of the year the PTA spent money on gazebo repairs
(contribution £3500) and new playground equipment including reading nooks and STEM materials for measuring and counting (£1495.36). We also spent money on Christmas gifts with crafts for each child in the older years and classroom gifts for the younger years (£1075.98), continued our Author of the Month commitment to the end of the calendar year (£272.96), supported special events for the school in Poetry and Science weeks and World Book Day (£276.17) as well as other small ad hoc requests as outlined in the table below:

01 September 2025 to 12 January 2026
The PTA has had a strong start to the current financial year. Currently there is an operating surplus of £5522.29 as well as £20,094.85 held in an easy access savings account which is comprised of the bequest held last year and previous years’ surplus. At the end of the last financial year, it was agreed that the spending focus for this financial year would be on enriching the experiences of the students at the school. The PTA has committed a number of spends for the school which have not yet been invoiced including: up to £2000 to increase the variety of KS2 books for reading and library and up to £2000 for iSingpop collective worship materials for the whole school. We have also committed to spending around £500 (some flexibility) for an experience for each year group – Year 2 has selected a Titanic Workshop to accompany their history curriculum and Year 4 has organised a visit from ‘The Roman Man’ to also accompany their history curriculum (not yet invoiced). The other years have not yet chosen their spend. We have also invested in a set of high quality walkie talkies to be used by staff for more efficient and safer communication on the playground and by the PTA for events.
Running costs for the PTA include our Parentkind membership (includes insurance), bank charges and the PTA also paid for a memory bear to be made out of preloved uniform as a retirement gift for Mrs OKP and as a thank you for all of her support for the PTA over the years.
Fundraising has included Preloved Uniform and YourSchoolLottery.
The first term was very busy for the PTA with a number of events held including an Autumn Disco (profit £308.57), the annual Fireworks display (profit to date £6521.37), a new event of Wreath Making sponsored by the Wedding House (allowing us a profit of £869) and the Christmas Hamper Quiz (profit £50.19). We also paid for 2 donkeys to come be part of the last Carol Service at the church (spend £100). We have so far been lucky enough to have donated DJ time for the discos but they have been designed to incorporate the cost of hiring a DJ without having to raise the ticket prices if a DJ is not available in the future. It was also decided that this year, the Fireworks ticket prices would rise to £7.50 – the first ticket price increase since at least 2019. This accounts for the larger profit this year but has also been designed so that as the costs of running the events increase (particularly if the lighting/signage costs need to be incorporated in future years) that this event will still be able to be run as a fundraiser without immediately increasing the costs again.
The PTA reserves, £20,094.85 at the moment, sit in a Easy Access Savings account alongside the regular account. Although this account earns nominal interest, it is still more interest than the main account. The school and the PTA are currently scoping out the feasibility of investing in a high quality, high magnitude microscope which
would be used by generations of students to enrich not only their STEM learning but also their whole school experience. It has been agreed that this will be the likely use for the bequest received last year as a capital investment with a lasting legacy that can be used by all students. We look forward to receiving all of the details and the quote.
At the midpoint of the year, the finances of the PTA remain in a strong position thanks to the generous contributions of the parents and community and the hard work of the members of the PTA. Thank you!

Examination of Accounts Completed by Kimberley Crawford 30/06/2026
The treasurer worked to represent the accounts on Xero where previously no official software had been used.
Examination found the accounts to be true representation of the charity work, income and spend.
The standard of administration is considered to be of a good standard and in need of some minor changes for future dealings mainly around copy documents and regular reconciliation onto an accounting software.
