CHAIR'S REPORT
2023124 Chair-julia Rice
This report covers the 2023124 school year, from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2024. The PTA raised
£91,349.
£14,252 was raised from the regular giving of parental donations. Other parents chose to make one-off
substantial donations, sometimes matched by their employers. We received a substantial £9,014 from
employers, match funding schemes. The major fundraising event was a summer auction which raised a total of
£44,571.
Our first major fundraising event was a Danceathon which raised E8,379. In the spring the School hosted a
musical which raised £4,930. Two cake sales were held, one in the autumn and one in the spring, together they
raised £3,766. The spring bop raised a total af £3,460. The Christmas events, the play & sales of the DVD raised
£1,002 and the Christmas tree sale raised £562. Two school uniform sales were held which raised a total of £557.
Two movie nights were held which raised a total of £413. Finally we had a small amount of money come in from
amazon smile and the giving machine, £444.
This Danceathon focused on supporting a variety of projects which were not covered by the regular giving appeal
(play deck and PE equipment, class trips and other).
We are enormously grateful to parents, sponsorship for events during the first rnonths and their generous
donations and commitment to regu lar giving without which the PTA could not continue to support the school.
We appreciate the additional gift Aid to any donation. We are also very grateful to parents, employers who
matched their donations and all our corporate sponsors for their support, especially on the occasion of the
auction and the bake sale,
The PTA was able to pay for a wide range of activities for the school. We worked with school staff to identify what
would benefit the children the m05t.
The total expenditure amounted to £61,025 in 2022123, which was slightly higher than the previous year. Most
expenditure relates to the support to specialist teaching1£46,850 out of £61,025, total spending).
£32,850 was spent on Art and Music opportunities with specialist teachers. For the third year, the PTA paid for
the Physical Education coach for a total £14,000 amount. Those amount5 do not only cover the 23124 school
year, but also some costs of the year before. The specialist teachers nat only enrich our children's educational
experiences, knowledge and skills, it also supports our teachers, statutory preparation, planning and assessment
IPPAI weekly release.
The PTA 15 happy to support miscellaneous resources £1,907. Some of these resources are able to be used
multiple years and across grade levels.
The PTA also contributed to school trips1£2,6001. Children were happy to enrich their school experiences with
these much-loved trips, especially during the summer term.
During the school year, swimming lessons are provided to students thanks to the PTA support1£2,3411.
The PTA also paid for an enhancement of workspace and environmental quality by investing in dyson fans which
also act as air purifiers and heaters when needed, this c05t a total of £7,327.
11316659-1

The PTA has a150 agreed to pay for a whole school subscription to the London Zoo {£500). Which is available to
all classes, Nursery through year 6.
Our PTA would not exist if it weren't forthe support and involvement of the school's children and their families.
Each event in our calendar requires a lot of input from planning to delivery. Though we all celebrate our success,
we also recognise the importance of our volunteers. Parents, grandparents. uncles and auntie5 help in a variety
of ways. by encouraging their classes to get irwolved with PTA events, donating directly, being part of the PTA
committee, and volunteering their time to plan and run events. Each year, the school faces increasing financial
constraints and so our role as the PTA becomes even more important. Thanks to our generous donors and
volunteers we are able to continue to provide support to our school. We appreciate very much parental positive
response to our donation appeals. We are also incredibly grateful for the team of parents who accepted the
challenge to organise in-person events, very often in a veryshort period of time. with significant time constraints
of their own. They all proved to be extremely successful, and we could feel the kindness, intelligence and positive
mindset which is the backbone of our school community.
We would also like to thank our corporate sponsorsfortheir support and without whom the PTAwould not have
been able to contribute to so many school activities.
We would also like to thank our past Chairs and Treasurers, who have worked tirelessly in assistlng fund ralsing
activities, and provided support each step of the way. over the past year.

Independent Examlner's Report to the Trustees of Hampden Gurney Parent Teachers Association
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 August 2024, which are set out on page
Thi5 report is made solely to the Trustee5, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Art 2011
(the 2011 Act). My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matter5 which
l am required to state to them in an independent examiner'5 report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity
trustees as a body. for my examination, for this report. or for the opinlons I have formed.
Respertive responslbillties of the trustees and the &yamlner
The charitys trustees are responslble for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an
audit is not required for this year under section 144121 of the 2011 Act but that an independent examination is
needed. It is my responsibility to:
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Att,.
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 145{5)Ib} of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have to come my attention.
Basls of Independent examlner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commi55ion. An
examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts.
and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matter5. The procedures undertaken do not
provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given a5 to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair view, and the report 15 limited to those matters set out in the statement
below.
Independent examiner'5 statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
111 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
121 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in orderto enable a proper understanding of the accounts
to be reachg.W'
