consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from the trustees concerning any such matter5. The procedure5 undertaken do not provide
all the e¥idence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion 15 given as
to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is limited to those
matters set out in the statement below.

the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met. or

Section C
Objectives and activities
Summary of the objerts of the charity set out in Its 8overr•ln8 document
To advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by=
Developing effective relationships between the Staff, parents and others a550ciated with the school.
Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the
pupil5.
Summary of the maln artivlties undertaken for the public benefrt in relatlon to these object5
Our PTA meets the Charity Commission's public benefit criteria.
Our PTA works with our School. parents* pupils and the local community to put on a range of event5 and activities. the
largest this year being the Sonning Show and Christmas Fayre and activities. These help to build the school communitv,
break down barriers and help fundraise. We use our funds to purchase a range of goods and service5 that help
dvance the education of pupils at our school. In the current year the focus was on getting 30 laptops for the children
to use.
All our activities help advance the education of pupils at the school. We raise funds to help support additional activities
such as those mentioned above, put on events to bring parents. teachers. pupils and the community together.
The ages of the children at the school are 4-11. All pupils at our School benefit from our purposes. Within the school
environment our organisation benefits all pupils at our school. Although we are onty providing benefits to a Specific
age range the trustees are satisfied that thi5 is justified under the "Equality Acr as age is one of the protected
characteristics under the charities exception rule. The chariws goveming document only allows people who are pupils
of the school to benefit from the grants and therefore they will be between the ages of 4 and 11. and "Exception B"
applies.
We decide as a committee how to spend the fijnds we raise. We take advice from the Head teacher at our school
andlor other rnernbers of the senior leadership team on goods and/or services that are required to advance the
education of pupils at the current time. We then discuss as a committee whether we see that these meet the
requirements of the constitution.
We may undertake some longer term projects depending on the needs identified to advance the education of pupils at
the School. For example in the current year we have been raising money to fund an Arts and Drama studio for our
pupli5. These may require funds to be raised over a longer period.
Our PTA does not make grants to individual pupils. We do not provide facilities or services forthe public. We do not
charge for access to seNices/facilities. All the goods and services provided for the public benefit are accessed by pupils
through the school.
