Introduction
This report provides a summary of the activities in 2021/22 of the Honeywell Schools PTFA. It also covers the key legal elements of the governance and management of the charity.
Objects
The objects are to advance the education of the pupils attending Honeywell Infant & Junior Schools. In furtherance of this object the Association may:
-
foster more extended relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the Schools,
-
engage in activities which support the Schools and advance the education of the pupils attending them,
-
provide and assist in the provision of such facilities or items for the education and welfare of the children at the schools not normally provided by statutory funds, as the committee shall from time to time determine.
Governance
The Honeywell Schools PTFA (referred to as “the PTFA” for the remainder of the document) operates according to a constitution adopted on 9 October 2018. All parents automatically become members of the PTFA when their children join either of the Schools.
The PTFA has a timetable of meetings as part of its governance of the charity. PTFA meeting schedule is published on the PTFA website https://www.honeywellptfa.org.uk/. These include an AGM in September, weekly/bi-weekly PTFA Management Committee meetings and termly finance review meeting with the school Business Manager (both not shown in the website), and five PTFA Class Reps Committee meetings (at least one per term) with the school Headteachers and head of Governors present. At the AGM the Chair and new trustees are appointed in line with the
constitution. If there is more than one candidate for any given post, an election will take place at the AGM.
The role of the Management Committee is to consider matters of policy and to consider proposals for funding needs from the Heads. In addition to these meetings the PTFA works closely with the Heads of Schools to ensure that fundraising activities clearly deliver the charitable objectives, are aligned with the ethos of the schools and that PTFA activities enable a positive fostering of relationships within the school and the wider community. Furthermore, the PTFA Management Committee has a critical governance role to ensure proper management of PTFA funds and has ultimate responsibility for the delivery of all PTFA activities.
The role of the Class Reps Committee is to consider and give feedback on proposals for funding, to discuss upcoming events and new initiatives. The Class Reps Committee meeting is also an important forum for feedback from other parents.
Reserves
The PTFA aims to transfer all surpluses to the Schools through its main account. The PTFA also has monies held in a Special Projects Account, which has been specifically designated to fund the School Crossing Patrol. The School Crossing Patrol is held as a restricted fund and monies held in this fund cannot be used for other purposes.
In the last two years reserved funds have been at an historical high as a consequence of a limited capability to deploy funds during the pandemic, and record figures from fundraising events. Therefore we have focused lots of our efforts in working with the School Heads to identify how to best use these funds to support the Schools. As a result 2021/2022 has seen the donation to the Schools to almost double compared to the previous year, and we expect 2022/2023 to follow the same trend.
Key highlights in the year ended 31 July 2022
-
Net surplus of £99,610 made up of a surplus of £98,763 on unrestricted funds and a surplus of £847 on the restricted fund for the School Crossing Patrol
-
The PTFA contributed £40,967 to the Infant and Junior Schools and £12,119 to the School Crossing Patrol
-
Reserves of £213,732 in unrestricted funds and £23,565 in the restricted fund for School Crossing Patrol
Events and activities
This year has been a year of transition from the global pandemic to a normal way of living. Some Government restrictions were in place in the first part of the academic year, with only a minor impact on our ability to run events. We have been able to go back to the full spectrum of fundraiser events, and included learning from the ones run during the pandemic to children events as inclusive as possible.
The highlights of the year was the Promises auction which raised a record sum of £97,773 net (with gross funds taken of £108,430). The record sum is a consequence of the generosity of all parents that this year have offered for auction a record number of lots by sharing their time and skills, and lending their properties.
Other large fundraisers that have involved the wider community of children and parents have been the Summer fete and the Winter bazaar including tree sale, and the Quiz night and the Shopping evening for the parents alone. These four events alone have raised circa £20k net.
A special mention shall be given to the Honeywell cookbook, that keeps being one of our strongest sellers at every event and this year has significantly contributed with a net total £5,936.
We had ongoing support from local estate agents and parents willing to have boards in their gardens, to continue a revenue stream which could be run through lockdowns and government restrictions.
Every class has also contributed by organising smaller fundraisers, that are small in revenue compared to the large events, but are key to create that community spirit that is at the heart of the PTFA and make Honeywell schools such a special place.
We’ve continued to use Honey Money as methods of payments for every fundraiser and a total of £1,248 remains outstanding. The use of Honey Money together with digital forms of payments allow us to minimise the amount of cash we have to handle, and therefore we’ll keep using it as a form of payment for future events.
PTFA Charitable activities
The PTFA retains a focus on its charitable purpose and utilises funds (in addition to the school donations) to enable various initiatives like the Sting magazine and year 6 leavers activities. Activities such as these are shown under PTFA charitable activities in the accounts.
The School Crossing Patrol (SCP)
In 2021/22 we agreed with Douglas and Gordon a 2-year sponsorship of our School Crossing Patrol, for a total of £12,500. This amount together with the funds raised by the parents in 2020/21, gives us enough funds to pay for the salaries of the two patrol officers at Webbs Road and Northcote Road for 2021/22 and 2022/23. Given the importance of maintaining our financial commitment to LB Wandsworth and the patrol officers, we treat this reserve as restricted funds and are assigned solely to pay for the SCP. These are not part of the distributable profits to the Schools.
Our partners and sponsors
The PTFA is fortunate to have several corporate sponsors that support different events. We would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support in 2021/22 including Douglas and Gordon, Hamptons, Uncommon, John Thorogood, Lifemin, Chelwood Partners, Nested, ActivCamps, Killik and Co, Savills, Orchestrate, Deliciously Captured, Manifesto, Breadstall, Oddonos, The Giving Machine and Amazon.
How the funds raised are distributed
The PTFA seeks proposals for funding from the heads of schools at the PTFA management meetings. We have also started a closer relationship with school governors, and we are looking to further foster this relationship to ensure our efforts are aligned and we can maximise value to the Schools.
In 2021/22 the PTFA donated £40,967 to the Schools which is significantly higher than the previous year of £28,429. The donations have funded school improvement plans, new tech equipment for the Schools, new books, fire proof and sound proof equipment, staff training and school playground repairs.
Looking forward to 2022/23 and beyond
The PTFA remains well placed financially after several successful years of fundraising, and thanks to the Promises auction record fundraiser, we already have agreed with the Schools our support for new major improvement projects, and will be looking for even more opportunities during the year.
Given our unrestricted fund reserves of £213,732 we already agreed with the Schools on an expanded programme of donations for 2022/23, of which the highlight is a brand new science and food technology lab that will be located in the Junior school, as well as major refurbishment to the Infant Sunshine room and to the school garden. These projects alone will require in excess of £70k.
There is plenty of work for the PTFA to do in the year ahead and there will be a focus on continuing to build community spirit, improve school premises, and support children in their learning and teachers in their professional development.

Note 2: Accounting policies
| 2.1 Income | |
|---|---|
| Recognition of income | These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: |
| - the charity becomes entitled to the resources | |
| - it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources | |
| - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. | |
| Tax reclaims on donations and gifts | Gift aid receivable is included in income where there is a valid declaration from the donor. |
| Any gift aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is | |
| treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation, unless the donor or terms of | |
| the appeal have specified otherwise. | |
| The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in | |
| Volunteer help | the trustees annual report. |
| 2.2 Expenses and liabilities | |
| Liability recognition | Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or |
| constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the | |
| obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. | |
| 2.3 Assets | |
| Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower of cost or net | |
| Stocks and work in progress | realisable value. |
| Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discount or | |
| amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other | |
| Debtors | consideration expected to be received. |
