From 01/09/23 To 31/08/24

Charity name: Godolphin and Latymer School Parent Teacher and Friends Association

Charity registration number: 1107227

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	To advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by: -Developing effective relationships between the parents, staff and others associated with the school; - Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of thepupils.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The PTFA has a social remit to encourage cooperation, communication and good relations between parents, staff and others associated with the school. The PTFA provides a gateway to welcome and support the active G&L community, maintaining open lines of communication and strengthening the school- home bond. The main fundraising activities this year were, once again, our annual Quiz Night, Jazz Night and several Second Hand Uniform Sales. The net proceeds from these events were used to purchase good and services requested by the school for the benefit of the students. In addition, we organised the first Christmas Bazaar since the start of the pandemic which, in addition to students, parents and staff, was open to the local community. The money raised from this event was donated to the students’ chosen charities. We also held a Summer Garden Party at the end of the summer term whih, in addition to students, parents and staff, was open to incoming Y7 students and their parents.

		Together, these events raised charitable funds but, importantly, helped foster a strong school community.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Our main goal throughout the year was to continue reinvigorating the school community in the wake of the pandemic, creating a greater sense of connection and engagement. The foundation of this community starts with our class reps who, from the very first days of Year 7, work to engage parents through regular coffee mornings and active whats app groups. Led by their respective year reps, they also recruit parent volunteers to help deliver the PTFA’s larger events, such as the Autumn Quiz Night and Spring Jazz Night. Second hand uniform sales continued to be very popular, raising money for the PTFA and providing an important service to the school community, as well as raising funds.

In addition to these annual events, this year we brought back the Christmas Bazaar following a multi-year hiatus due to the pandemic. This popular event brought together parents, students and teachers, as well as residents in the local community. It not only generated a wonderful sense of community and Christmas cheer, but it raised over £20k for the students’ chosen charities. At the end of the school year, the PTFA introduced a new event for the whole school community: a Summer Garden Party. In addition to current parents, teachers and students, Year 7 parents and their parents were invited to attend. The event was well received by adults and children, and is expected to become an annual event. G&L PTFA made a significant contribution of £6,370 towards the Challenge Your Limits programme to be run by the school for the girls early in the new academic year. The PTFA also funded new garden furniture and bids from a number of school departments for discretionary products and services.
