Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2023

The trustees of LVS Ascot PTFA (the “PTFA” or “charity”) have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2022-23.

Objectives and Activities

The objective of the PTFA is to advance the education of pupils in the school, in particular by:

  1. Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school;

  2. Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.

Activities and achievement of objectives

Fundraising Events: Members of the PTFA have organised and volunteered at a number of predominantly fundraising events throughout the school year. These raised a total of £19,735 , which will be used to support the schools in line with the PTFA’s objectives. Fundraising activities included:

Funding : We have provided a wide range of grants to the school this year totalling £11,393 , including:

Corporate Donors and Volunteers

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year, in particular those members who organise and/or help out at events. These events are fun for everyone but take a great deal of work behind the scenes, and would not happen if it wasn’t for the dedicated staff and parents who give up their time to ensure that we raise money and community spirit for the school. If you would like to get involved, even in a small capacity, please let a member of the committee know. We can be contacted via email at hello@lvsascotptfa.org.

We are also grateful to Microsoft, Vodaphone and HSBC for their very generous matched funding initiatives. If any other parents work for a company which offers matched funding, please contact the treasurer as this is an excellent and efficient way of raising funds.

Financial Review

The trustees are very grateful to all those who have donated funds to the PTFA. If readers wish to donate to the activities of the PTFA, please contact the treasurer at the registered address or via email on treasurer@lvsascotptfa.org.

The academic year 2023-23 was very successful. Our International Spring Fayre brought many parents and students into the school where they enjoyed stalls, bouncy castles, international food, and even got to hold snakes, lizards, and tortoises thanks to Berkshire Reptile Rescue. The May Ball was held in the Castle Hotel in Windsor for the first time, and while we broke even on our ticket sales, we made a fantastic profit through the silent auction and raffle.

We continued with second hand uniform sales online, which has proved very successful. We had expected a drop in income due to the new school uniform, and although this gave us a slow start at first we have now started to build up a stock again. We continued to search for new homes for our old uniform stock, with donations going to the PTAs of Owlsmoor Primary School (summer dresses, pinafores, junior blouses), Edgbarrow School (senior blouses), Farnham Heath End School (kilts), College Town Infant & Junior school (grey shorts & trousers) and Lighthouse Woking (grey trousers).

The profit from 2021-22 for two junior fundraising events, needed to be corrected in the finances this year, due to the actual income from the events not matching expectations. These were billed through the school in arears and the final figure was not available at the time of the AGM last year. Similarly, funds which were previously allocated have not been spent, so have been rolled into this year’s funding to be available again.

Reserves policy and Reserves

The policy of the charity is to maintain unrestricted reserves, which is cash available at a level which equals the amount of capital needed to set up and organise a fundraising event (approx. £4,000).

The funds in excess of those held in line with the reserves policy, which totalled £23,242 at 31 August 2023, are expected to be utilised to support the charity’s objectives during the next year.

Structure, Governance and Management

Trustees and organisation

The governing document of the PTFA is a constitution adopted on 22[nd] February 2023. A board of trustees administers the charity, which carries out its activities as the PTFA. The day to day management of the charity has been delegated to the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer.

The trustees who have served during the year and since year end are set out on page 1. Trustees are elected at an Annual General Meeting. For continuity, they should be elected from the committee although this does not debar others from nomination. Alternatively, to fill a casual vacancy, existing trustees may co-opt trustees to serve until the subsequent annual general meeting, at which they may be reappointed by the members.

The Chair and Secretary have notified their intention to stand down at the AGM.

The Treasurer has notified her intention to stand again at the AGM.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”. The annual report and financial statements are awaiting independent financial review.

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 August 2023

The trustees of LVS Ascot PTFA (the “PTFA” or “charity”) have pleasure in presenting their Annual Report for the year ended 31 August 2022-23.

Objectives and Activities

The objective of the PTFA is to advance the education of pupils in the school, in particular by:

  1. Developing effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school;

  2. Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.

Activities and achievement of objectives

Fundraising Events: Members of the PTFA have organised and volunteered at a number of predominantly fundraising events throughout the school year. These raised a total of £19,735 , which will be used to support the schools in line with the PTFA’s objectives. Fundraising activities included:

Funding : We have provided a wide range of grants to the school this year totalling £11,393 , including:

Corporate Donors and Volunteers

We would like to thank everyone who has supported us this year, in particular those members who organise and/or help out at events. These events are fun for everyone but take a great deal of work behind the scenes, and would not happen if it wasn’t for the dedicated staff and parents who give up their time to ensure that we raise money and community spirit for the school. If you would like to get involved, even in a small capacity, please let a member of the committee know. We can be contacted via email at hello@lvsascotptfa.org.

We are also grateful to Microsoft, Vodaphone and HSBC for their very generous matched funding initiatives. If any other parents work for a company which offers matched funding, please contact the treasurer as this is an excellent and efficient way of raising funds.

Financial Review

The trustees are very grateful to all those who have donated funds to the PTFA. If readers wish to donate to the activities of the PTFA, please contact the treasurer at the registered address or via email on treasurer@lvsascotptfa.org.

The academic year 2023-23 was very successful. Our International Spring Fayre brought many parents and students into the school where they enjoyed stalls, bouncy castles, international food, and even got to hold snakes, lizards, and tortoises thanks to Berkshire Reptile Rescue. The May Ball was held in the Castle Hotel in Windsor for the first time, and while we broke even on our ticket sales, we made a fantastic profit through the silent auction and raffle.

We continued with second hand uniform sales online, which has proved very successful. We had expected a drop in income due to the new school uniform, and although this gave us a slow start at first we have now started to build up a stock again. We continued to search for new homes for our old uniform stock, with donations going to the PTAs of Owlsmoor Primary School (summer dresses, pinafores, junior blouses), Edgbarrow School (senior blouses), Farnham Heath End School (kilts), College Town Infant & Junior school (grey shorts & trousers) and Lighthouse Woking (grey trousers).

The profit from 2021-22 for two junior fundraising events, needed to be corrected in the finances this year, due to the actual income from the events not matching expectations. These were billed through the school in arears and the final figure was not available at the time of the AGM last year. Similarly, funds which were previously allocated have not been spent, so have been rolled into this year’s funding to be available again.

Reserves policy and Reserves

The policy of the charity is to maintain unrestricted reserves, which is cash available at a level which equals the amount of capital needed to set up and organise a fundraising event (approx. £4,000).

The funds in excess of those held in line with the reserves policy, which totalled £23,242 at 31 August 2023, are expected to be utilised to support the charity’s objectives during the next year.

Structure, Governance and Management

Trustees and organisation

The governing document of the PTFA is a constitution adopted on 22[nd] February 2023. A board of trustees administers the charity, which carries out its activities as the PTFA. The day to day management of the charity has been delegated to the Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer.

The trustees who have served during the year and since year end are set out on page 1. Trustees are elected at an Annual General Meeting. For continuity, they should be elected from the committee although this does not debar others from nomination. Alternatively, to fill a casual vacancy, existing trustees may co-opt trustees to serve until the subsequent annual general meeting, at which they may be reappointed by the members.

The Chair and Secretary have notified their intention to stand down at the AGM.

The Treasurer has notified her intention to stand again at the AGM.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (revised 2005), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”. The annual report and financial statements are awaiting independent financial review.

Approved by the trustees on 2[nd] October 2023 and signed on their behalf by:

Zoe Stewart, Treasurer
