Trusteees’ Annual Report for 2022-23
Sudbourne Parent Teacher Association, 1099341, 53 Trinity Gardens, London SW9 8DR
Trustees: Simon Tindall, Alexandra Hulme, Mariam Rosser-Owen, Leanne Fenwick, Samuel Pinney, Katharine Wilson and Kimberly Davis
The Charity is a parent teacher association. It is managed by a small committee. It recruits trustees by requesting volunteers for its committee from the parent body of the school.
Its activities are largely arranging events and initiatives with the aim of raising funds to support Sudbourne Primary School.
The 2022-23 brought some challenges to the PTA. The school relocated to its new site and it was quickly identified by teachers and parents that the playground was not suitable for the children as it was a wide open space with no green space or climbing frame.
The PTA was extremely lucky that one of the parents donated to it £10,000 (by way of a matched donation with the parent’s employer) to contribute to the cost of a playground. Sudbourne PS was able to find the rest of the funding for the climbing frame from other sources.
Sudbourne PS then identified that an unused “wasteland” that was at the back of the tarmac-ed playground area could be brought into use as a green nature trail. The PTA was asked to find as much of the circa £25,000 for this purpose as possible.
We reallocated the “Lunchtime Sports Coach” element of a large matched donation received a number of years ago (£4,500) for this purpose as well as putting the “Green Wall” fund and the “Build a Pound” fund towards it – both of these had been raised for the green wall at the old site – the PTA felt this was a good use for these monies given that the original purpose behind their being raised was now obsolete (£3,780.99). (£1,000 that had been carried over had been spent in 20/21, but was only paid in 22/23)
The PTA also began to look for grants that could be used towards the Nature Trail should we be successful, which we were in relation to one offered by Summer Events Limited to the tune of £1,500.
The move to the new site saw a reduction in the parental support of the PTA and its initiatives. No parent volunteers stepped up to organise either fair so both were organised by the PTA Committee. Both fairs were smaller affairs than they had been at the old site.
Sudbourne PS in this year initiated the start of a music department. We were asked to organise a fundraising drive for this. We were fortunate in that a parent made a large donation (£1,345); and we held a school disco which had an entry fee and a paid bar for parents which raised £439.93.
The expenditure in this year was extremely high in large part because the school spending in 21/22 (£35,399.99) had not been reimbursed in that year, but instead was paid in 22/23. The school spend in 21/22 was extremely high – there was a lot spent on supporting the curriculum and contributing to the phases for school trips and other spending. Mr Broad, the head teacher who came on board in 22/23, and the PTA agreed that going forward the PTA fundraising was not to be used in this way, but was to be put towards identifiable, big ticket items (for example, the Playground, the Nature Trail, the Music Department) such that the parents could see the direct impact of their support of the PTA.
The anticipated spend for 23124 will largely be on the Nature Trail. Sensory Equipment. the Music Department and, possiblyi Playground Markings. The policy for free reserves is that each yearfs reserves are based on the previous yearfs general fundraising- this excludes any specific purpose fundraising. Alexandra Hulme. Trustee
