Develop effective relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with the school and engage in activities or provide facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The Trustees confirm they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, including the requirement to ensure the PTA's activities are for the benefit of the wider school community and not just individual pupils. Members of the PTA have worked together to organise fundraising activities and social functions such as the Christmas and Summer fairs, wreath making workshop, quiz night and circus. The money raised for the school is aimed at funding resources which provide a wider and richer experience for pupils at Dundonald and is used directly to benefit the school. The PTA endeavours to spend the funds in ways that will benefit all children across the various areas of the school and curriculum. These are usually 'extras' that the school budget would not cover and make the children's experiences at school more fulfilling and exciting. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | The PTA is proud of its achievements across the 2024/25 financial year. The Summer Fair and Christmas Fair were an enormous success, bringing together the pupils and families of the school as well as members of the local community. Other significant fundraisers included the • Quiz Night • School Discos • Summer Circus • Wreath Making event • Second Hand Uniform Sales The money raised by the PTA has been used in a variety of ways to benefit our community, including: • Providing a Christmas Panto to pupils along with other theatrical events provided by an external theatre company. • VE Day Celebration • Classroom resources delivered as ‘Christmas Presents’ to the classrooms • Purchase of classroom fans and cooling devices for hot weather following feedback from teachers and parents. The PTA liaise with the school about what the school would like to be funded. As there are more things on the 'wish list' than funds available there is a process of prioritising and voting to arrive at a final agreement. All parents and staff have a right to hand in requests. A presentation of the PTA's finances is delivered at each Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the beginning of the academic year. |
The charity ended the financial year with higher reserves than usual due to a concentrated fundraising effort towards ‘Project Flush’ raising funds to be applied towards the refurbishment of certain areas of the school which are in need of repair but for which the repairs have not yet commenced. This fundraising was extremely successful and Dundonald School will benefit from these funds during the 2025/26 financial year. We wish to extend our thanks to volunteers, supporters and wider community who contributed towards these efforts.

| I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 30/09/2025. 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.
