Financial review and Investment pollcy
All Committee members have had regards for the guidance issued by the Charities Commission on
public benefit when planning activities and making strategic decisions.
Thriplow School PTA aims to maintain reserves consisting of:
Reserves to cover biannual Tipi event expenditure to ensure the biannual Thriplow Tipi
event can be funded;
General contingency- sufficient cash reserves to cover the next year's likely expenditure in
the event that fundraising efforts do not return sufficient money, The PTA Committee
considers it prudent to ensure that unrestricted funds should be sufficient to cover one
year's financial requirements.
Achievements and performance
2024 was a good year of fundraising for the school. The highlight of fundraising was the Summer
Solstice Event which raised £8,824 net of expenses. The Daffadil Weekend 2024 also raised £4,266
for the school net of expenses
There was a conscious effort in 2024 to use surplus funds to help support the school. £7,917 of
donations were made to the school, supporting learning improvements as well as the young Voices
Choir Trip and the Year 6 Residential.
The Cornerstone project cornpleted in 2024, and the new classroom is now in use.
