ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

In the financial year ended 31 March 2025:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

At the start of the 2024-2025 financial year (i.e 1st April 2024), the Association held a total of £196,007.26 between the Foundation and PTA bank accounts. This included £40,000 of restricted funds ringfenced for paying the School librarian and for books for the School’s library.

Receipts of the Association during the year 2024-5 financial year totaled £56,137.69 and consisted of:

Expenditure of the Association during the 2024-25 financial year totaled £80,860.32 and consisted of:

On 31 March 2025, the total cash held by the Association across the PTA and Foundation bank accounts was £171,284.63 .

£100,000 was originally donated to the Foundation to be ringfenced for the School’s library, which provided five years of funding for the School librarian and books. During the year, expenditure relating to this restricted fund was paid from the unrestricted bank account for cash management reasons. This has been reflected in the accounts as an internal transfer between unrestricted and restricted funds. As at 31 March 2025, £20,000.00 from the original donation plus £1,415.80 from interest earned remains ringfenced for the School library, which allows funding for one further year.
