**ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING** **Chair’s Report 23[rd] October 2025** Thank you to all for a.ending the AGM this evening. During the mee;ng we will be run through the formali;es of commi.ee elec;ons, financial review, and the expenditure plans along with nomina;ons for new commi.ee members. Last year was the first year for a newly formed commi.ee aDer Kirs;e and Kate resigned as Co-Chairs, and aDer Jodie resigned as Secretary. Abi and Ma. stepped in as Co-Chairs, along with Suzie as Secretary, and Claire con;nued her excellent work as Treasurer. We would like to start by thanking both head teachers, Mrs Cameron and Mrs Cliffe for their support of the PTA, as well as the administra;on staff from both schools who are essen;al in assis;ng the PTA in its communica;ons with teaching staff and parents/carers. Con;nuing on from the work of the previous commi.ee, during the 24/25 school year, the PTA organised the tradi;onal fundraisers and events known and loved by the children, culmina;ng in a fantas;c summer fair towards the end of the school year. It was hard work, and well worth the effort. ## **Fundraising** In the first term of the year we put together a number of fantas;c events. A school disco and muDi day, which was great fun for all the kids, managed to raise a li.le over £1,260 – It was an awesome aDernoon and ran rela;vely smoothly. The infants come directly from school and aside from a li.le bit of mayhem at the change-over for each year group, worked really well. We had a costume sale before Halloween and a Christmas Jumper sale before Christmas which raised about £125. It was great to see costumes and clothing going to new homes. We assisted with the annual Flackwell Heath fireworks night. This is a joint event between our schools, Juniper School and the Flackwell Heath Scouts. It was a fantas;c night and we managed to pre.y much meet our target of a third of the volunteers needed to run the event. As a result, we received a third of the money raised, which was £4,000 this year. A variety of food-based sales, including sweets, a Christmas baked goods, and Indian snacks raised just under £290 – These were extremely popular with the kids at pick up ;me. Further Christmas themed events included the pantomime ;ckets at the Wycombe Swan, an extremely popular stall at Christmas On The Heath, a Christmas movie night, and personalised Christmas cards (and other fes;ve items!). The theatre night was amazing fun, our stall at Christmas On The Heath was by far the most popular in our sec;on (huge queues for the tombola!), the movie night had a few hiccups, but the kids loved it (even if the older ones didn’t really watch the film!), and it was incredible to see the children’s amazing artwork adorn Christmas cards, mugs, magnets and a variety of other items. Together with a Christmas raffle, these events raised a li.le less than £4,400. This brought our total up to just shy of £10,000 for the first term of the year. In the New Year and summer term regular sales of sweet treats con;nued – A number of ice lolly sales, cake sales and donut sales (including an extremely popular Krispy Kreme sale!) were organised – These brought in just over £1,340, which is absolutely incredible. Of that figure, the stand out events were the ice lolly/ice cream sales over the second two terms of the year – These sales contributed nearly £650 to our schools. Other events in the spring and summer terms included a quiz night, the sale of Legoland ;ckets, and a second school disco. These raised a combined amount of just over £2,100. The quiz night was great fun and those that took part had a really great night. The second school disco was hugely enjoyed by the children once again. With the help of the teachers, we con;nued on from last year and held another Coin War. This compe;;on was heated once again this year and raised just under £1,110 – We had joint winners in the Infant School this year with two classes being so close it felt right to give them both prizes. Finally, at the end of the summer term we held our summer fair. This was a lot of work over a number of months, but aDer an incredibly fun day in fortunate weather, we managed to raise £5,035. The kids and parents had an amazing ;me playing games, checking out all the stalls, ea;ng and drinking, and playing at the fun fair. It was wonderful fun for all involved, and could not have been achieved without the close assistance of the schools and their staff. In addi;on to the more ac;vely organised events above, a number of other excellent fundraising also took place. Between the school lo.ery and dona;ons from parents, just shy of £1,000 was raised, and Heath Singers raised a further £1,000. The retail cash back scheme through Easyfundraising brought in £275, and the ASDA Cashpot an addi;onal £157. The Easyfundraising amount is down on the previous year. We should aim to promote these ini;a;ves more throughout the coming year. Taking all sources together, with the help of the schools and parents, the PTA raised an incredible £22,437.23 over the year. An amazing outcome for our schools. We are very proud of the PTA’s achievements and thank all our supporters, parents/carers, and the schools for helping us to make this possible. Abi Szpur and Claire Willis will be stepping down at this AGM, and we look forward to welcoming new members of the commi.ee to help with our fundraising for the rest of the year and into 2026. For the school year ahead, con;nuing on from last year we would recommend con;nuing 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. ADer 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 2024 gave the Infant School £8,707.90 and the Junior School £11,543.02 to spend. For the Infant School, the PTA funded maths manipula;ves for KS1 classes, POPs for SEND reading, transporta;on for trips to a local farm, and a Christmas show, amongst a variety of other benefits for the children. For the Junior School the PTA funded new tablets for teachers, musical instruments, a variety of coach trips for excursions, and a theatre show at the school, again, amongst a variety of other benefits for the children. Funds going forward to spend during the 25/26 school year (taking into account unspent funds from last year of £5,273.01 for the Infant School, £4,585.22 for the Junior School, and £88.49 in interest – To make a total of £32,383.95) will be as follows: ## ● **Junior School - £18,458.85 (57%)** - **Infant School - £13,925.10 (43%)** The PTA has had a difficult start to the year regarding the management of our accounts, and accordingly we will be in touch with both schools about any addi;onal monies available to them beyond the above as a result of any agreed leD-over funding from the previous year. We apologise for the delay on providing informa;on on this in ;me for this year’s AGM. We would like to remind the schools that the PTA cons;tu;on states that funds raised must be spent the next school year so that current pupils benefit from their parents/carer’s contribu;ons. ## **MaT Schrader** 23/10/2025 ## **Carrington Schools’ PTA CommiTee** **Co-chairs** – Abi Szpur & Ma.
