Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charities objectives are to advance the education of the pupils in the school and to raise funds for school improvements.

Several fundraising events were run throughout the year, events for the children to enjoy including break the rules days, Disco’s and several events for St Edmund campion and the wider community to enjoy, including , Easter Fayre, Christmas shopping evening, Christmas Fayre, Wreath making, Camping night and a Summer Fun Day. We also held a special Circus event during the year, which was a great success.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relation to public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The main achievements during the year were paying for a new wall art which has created a bright and cheerful entrance hall in the school, the maintenance of the pool and allowances given to teachers for classroom resources. In addition, the PTA paid for an online safety talk provided by Tanya Goodin, Fantastic Fred experience for the children across all the year groups and supporting the school by funding filtering and monitoring software to keep the children safe when online on the school devices.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will still be able to confine the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

At the end of the financial year, the cash reserves held was £44,592.

FUTURE PLANS

The policy on non-allocated income is to carry the monies forward to the next fiscal year to cover on-going expenses and future requests for income from the school.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
