Team Telford is the parents’ association of Telford Junior School in Leamington Spa. Our mission is to bring together families, staff, and the wider community to enrich every child’s experience at Telford through fundraising, events, and support. We aim to create lasting memories, strengthen connections, and help every child thrive.

5. Structure, Governance, and Management

We have a Chairperson who liaises with school and who oversees events, purchases made and other decisions and the Treasurer who oversees the funds but we work together as a whole school community involving parents/carers, teaching staff and other family and friends who wish to help support.

Thoughts about events/purchases and how to support school is discussed with the Headteacher/staff/Chairperson/Treasurer and is then either emailed to others about ideas or are discussed at meetings.

We have had no changes in trustees this year

6. Public Benefit Statement

Team Telford exists to advance the education and well-being of all pupils at Telford Junior School, which is a public benefit purpose under the Charities Act 2011. Through fundraising and community activities, we provide additional resources, experiences, and opportunities that are not covered by standard school funding.

Examples of how we deliver public benefit include:

Raising funds to purchase educational equipment, books, and resources that enhance learning for all pupils.
Organising events such as fairs, workshops, and activities that build community spirit, improve social inclusion, and enrich children’s educational and social experiences.
Supporting school trips and extracurricular opportunities , helping to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent children from participating in wider learning.
• Fostering a strong school community , encouraging parental involvement in education, which research shows can contribute positively to children’s outcomes.

The benefits we provide are clear, identifiable, and open to all pupils of the school, regardless of background or circumstance. We do not operate for private profit, and all funds raised are used solely to further our charitable purposes in support of the school and its pupils.

Through this work, Team Telford contributes meaningfully to the advancement of education — a recognised charitable purpose — and delivers tangible public benefit in line with charity law.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TELFORD JUNIOR SCHOOL PARENTS ASSOCIATION

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2024, which are set out on the attached pages.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.

I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a member of CIMA, and I have satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 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 you as 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’.

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 2011 Act; and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
