Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith Trustees' Report For the year ended 31st July 2023
The Trustees ("PTA committee") present the report and Receipts and Payments Accounts for the year ended 31st July 2023. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102).
Objectives and activities
The principal objects of the charity are to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by:
-
(1) Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school;
-
(2) Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
Public Benefit
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
The trustees confirm that they have given due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Achievements and performance
The year saw a record fundraising achievement. The PTA Committee organised a spectacular Auction Night in February 2023 which raised more than expectations, in addition to income from regular events such as the Christmas Fair and the Summer Fair.
The Auction Night raised £29,419 from the Auction itself, wish list donations, event ticket sales, drinks sales and a raffle to be Head for the Day. Local businesses, teachers and parents all came together and donated prizes and their time to make the event such a success.
The Christmas Fair raised a total of £8,036, comprised of ££4,760 from the fair itself (after expenses); £1,177 from the raffle; £950 from the estate agent boards; and £1,149 from Christmas trees and cards.
The Summer Fair raised a total of £5,014, comprised of £3,953 from the fair itself (after expenses); £861 from the raffle; and £200 from PTA partners. The fair was held in St. Peter's Square on a beautiful June
Other fundraising events included Christmas and Valentine's Discos which raised £1,893 in ticket sales and drinks sales; Uniform Sales raising £643; a Movie Night with income of £529; and a very fun Wine Tasting Evening raising £463, amongst other smaller events.
Funds raised provided a wealth of equipment and enrichment opportunities for the children, in addition to funding the Sports Music teachers for the Summer Term 2023.
Financial Review
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £67,487 (2022: £37,736), comprising of £18,198 in donations and £49,570 from fundraising events. Receipts from fundraising events increased 88% from the prior year; this was due to the great success of the Auction Night.
A total of £55,361 was spent from unrestricted funds in the year. The largest expenditure was on the School teachers for Summer Term 2023 at £13,650, followed by £6.7k on classroom equipment, £4.4k on coaches for school trips, £4k on enrichment activities (e.g. workshops), £1.4k on staging and lighting for the Summer production, and several smaller items. Fund-raising expenses equated to £10,165 which was largely expenditure required for the School fairs and Auction Night.

Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith Trustees' Report For the year ended 31st July 2023
The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £22,556 on unrestricted funds. Adding brought-forward balances at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31st July 2023 on unrestricted funds totalled £44,857 and restricted funds totalled £8,327, giving total funds of £53,183.
Reserves Policy
It is the target of the PTA Committee to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds in excess of £10,000 to meet any unexpected expenditure. The balance of £44,857 held on unrestricted funds at the year end exceeded this target.
The balance of £8,327 in the iPads restricted fund is retained towards meeting the cost of leasing iPads for the school which is forecast to cover costs until the end of the school year in 2024, at which point further fundraising will be required to continue this provision.
Structure, governance and management
There is not a formal method of appointment of members of the PTA Committee; any parent/guardian at the school can volunteer themselves to become a member of the PTA Committee. By virtue of being a parent/guardian, all are members of the PTA.
The members of the PTA Committee are responsible for raising funds and liaising with Miss Karen Frazer ("Head Teacher") on making decisions on how the funds of the PTA are spent, taking into account all areas of general concern and importance to the children, parents, staff and others associated with the school.
