Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith Trustees' Report For the year ended 31st July 2025
The Trustees ("PTA committee") present the report and Receipts and Payments Accounts for the year ended 31st July 2025. 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 another great success in our fundraising achievements. The PTA Committee organised several fundraising events including an Auction Night, alongside regular annual events such as the Christmas Fair and the Summer Fair.
The Auction Night raised £24,645 from the Auction itself, 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.
Christmas fundraising efforts raised a total of £10,951, including £3.9k from the fair itself (after expenses); £2.4k from Christmas trees and cards; £1.4k from the Christmas Disco; and £2.4k from the raffle.
The Summer Fair raised a total of £6,333, comprised of £3,829 from the fair itself (after expenses) and £2,504 from the raffle.
Other fundraising events included Bridge to Bridge walk/cycle; Valentine's Discos; Uniform Sales; a Movie Night, amongst other smaller events.
Funds raised provided a wealth of equipment and enrichment opportunities for the children, a continutaion of the iPads provision, in addition to funding the Spanish teacher throughout the year.
Financial Review
Total receipts on unrestricted funds were £80,237 (2024: £61,334), comprising of £16,320 in donations and £63,917 from fundraising events.
A total of £70,310 was spent from unrestricted funds in the year. The largest expenditure was on the School teachers at £20k, with other expenditure on classroom equipment, coaches for school trips, enrichment activities (e.g. workshops), staging and lighting for the Summer production, and several smaller items. Fund-raising expenses equated to £8,289 which was largely expenditure required for the School fairs and Auction Night.
The net result for the year was an excess of receipts over payments of £9,928 on unrestricted funds. Adding brought-forward balances at the beginning of the year, the balances carried forward at 31st July 2025 on unrestricted funds totalled £55,419 and restricted funds totalled £0.
Friends of St Peter's School, Hammersmith Trustees' Report For the year ended 31st July 2025
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 £55,419 held on unrestricted funds at the year end exceeded this target.
The balance of £1,451 brought forward in the iPads restricted fund was fully spent in the year. The iPads provision continues from Unrestricted funds.
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.
