ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Chair’s Report 19th September 2024
Thank you to all for attending the AGM this evening. During the meeting we will be run through the formalities of committee elections, financial review, and the expenditure plans along with nominations for new committee members.
This was our third and final year for three of us on the committee and it was another busy and successful one with many events and initiatives carried out over the school year.
We would like to start by thanking both head teachers, Mrs Cameron and Mrs Cliffe for their support of the PTA and the administration staff from both schools who are key in helping with the communication with both the teaching staff and our parents and carers.
During the last school year, we have carried on with our traditional fundraisers/events as well as adding some new initiatives, making it another busy one!
Our reliable big fundraisers including the annual village fireworks event raised us £5000 and once again the summer fair was a success bringing in £4618 (50% of our total profit coming from these two events)
The regular initiatives have also continued throughout the year. We combined disco and non-uniform days as Infants now attend straight from school – two discos this year raised
£2421. For another year, we sold the discounted Legoland tickets for our June inset day, making a profit of £645.
Leading up to last Christmas the events included personalised Christmas cards and gifts, second-hand jumper sale, Panto tickets for Wycombe Swan and our stall at Flackwell Christmas on the Heath – between them all raising our schools just over £2500.
We continued with the termly bakes sales and ice lolly sales when we see the opportunity. All making a good profit with minimal effort to organise.
The retail cash back scheme through Easyfundraising brought in £361 and the School lottery
£856. Both amounts are down on the previous year. It would be beneficial to find reps for the PTA to take on both or one of these initiatives to promote throughout the year. These are all easy money makers and should be maximised more.
We also booked two Bags2Schools collections (clothes recycling scheme) which combined brought in £160. We still have not secured a clothes recycling bin on the school site, we have looked into this a few times. It would be relatively easy to maintain and would generate profit throughout the year as well as helping our families and the wider community recycle unwanted clothing and textiles.

We held our second Coin War which was a great success once again, we hope the children enjoyed the competition and we saw an impressive amount raised of £1158 (strangely around 20p less than last year).
Our first Carrington Quiz Night took place at FH Golf Club, the evening was very well received by all that attended. The evening raised just over £370, it was not hugely profitable, but this was a wonderful opportunity for both parents and teachers to have a social evening whilst raising funds for school. It would be great to see another Quiz Night this year.
We carried on with selling stationery packs for the junior school. This remains quite popular but not regular enough. For the time taken to purchase and organise the packs and the very small Profit this makes, it would be an idea to look into a way that the compulsory stationery could be purchased through the school office, online via Eschools.
Altogether the PTA have raised a fantastic amount this year, a total of £19,566. The total raised over the last three years being just over £62,500, which is an unbelievable amount that has helped both our schools tremendously.
We are very proud of the PTA’s achievements and thank all our supporters, parents/ carers and the schools for helping us make this possible.
Myself, Kate Warren and our secretary Jodie Eakins will be stepping down at this AGM after completing three years on the committee which is stated as the recommended term in our constitution.
For this school year ahead, we would recommend continuing with the core fundraisers as well as welcoming any new ideas from our parents/carers who would like to get more involved.
It would be great to see more volunteers to help with the events that are planned. We have hundreds of parents / carers across both our schools who can help ease the commitments of the core team. After all, everyone becomes part of the PTA when they join our schools, and everyone’s children benefit from the money raised. Any help big or small is always greatly received.
Expenditure
The funds raised in the previous year ending August 2023 gave the infant school £14,243 and juniors £15,124 to spend. These included funds from 21/22. We agreed for a large amount to be carried over from 21/22 as both schools had plans for large purchases of IT equipment in the new school year.
For the infant school, this funded new laptops costing £12,500 and school trip coaches for each year group.
For the Junior School the PTA funded new interactive whiteboards for the classrooms costing just under £10,000, the year 6 PGL coach and school trip coaches for each year group.

The infant school spent all funds throughout the year, the junior school had a remaining balance of £500, which will be reallocated according to the school split.
Funds going forward to spend during the 24/25 school year: -
-
Junior School - £11,543.02 (57%)
-
Infant School - £8707.90 (43%)
We would like to remind the schools that the PTA constitution states that funds raised must be spent the next school year so that current pupils benefit from their parents/ carer’s contributions.
