Structure, Governance and Management
Busbridge Junior School PTA became a registered charity in 2005 and is constituted by Articles of Association adopted at that time and subsequently revised in 2017. New trustees are appointed or reappointed annually by the members of the charity. Membership of the charity is open to all parents, guardians or carers of any pupil currently attending the school and teaching and non-teaching staff currently employed by the school.
Objects and Activities
The objects of the charity set out in its governing document are as follows:
-
To advance the education of the pupils of Busbridge Junior School.
-
To develop effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school.
-
To engage in activities and provide facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
The charity’s activities focus on organising various fundraising extra-curricular events for the pupils, staff and parents, and providing assistance to the school on special events. In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Financial Review
The PTA started the year with reserves of £11,895 raising £25,484 from fundraising events and incurring operating expenses of £919. Having pledged a total of £12,387 in donations during the year to fund various school activities, the PTA closed the year with reserves of £24,073, which will be used in the future to support the school in line with its objectives. The PTA also holds £517 in its bank account on behalf of the school, raised through donations.
The PTA held several fundraising events during the year, most notably a Christmas Fayre and associated Secret Shopping event, Fireworks Night and a Summer BBQ. Other key fundraising activities involved summer ice-creams sales, school discos for children and a similar event for parents, sponsored bouncy
castle and bike rides. The PTA also raised money from local estate agents for advertising boards, second hand uniform sales and various other initiatives detailed in the notes to these financial statements.
Amounts pledged to the school include further contributions to the school’s multi-use games area (“MUGA”) project, new equipment, books, furniture, science and art equipment, and other amounts detailed in the notes to these financial statements.
The PTA relies entirely on the voluntary efforts of its committee, teachers and parents to organise and run events and activities. All such work is greatly appreciated, and most amounts raised are generated entirely due to the generosity of parents and teachers in giving time and resources.

Busbridge Junior School PTA Year ended 31 July 2024 Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 July 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
