lives of students. The PTA does this by fostering good communications between all parents
and staff as well as raising money to fund items not covered by statutory resources. The
PTA contributes in many ways to enhance the sense of community within school.
All staff and parents and guardians are automatically members of the PTA. Parenls and
guardians number between 900 and 1,100. 'A¢tive' members are much less bul events tend
to attract 80-100 parents with the Summer and Christmas Fairs, for example, can involve
around 50 people with up to 350-400 in attendan￿ on the day. Several parents serve on
the Governing Body.
The PTA is run entirely by volunteers with a Steering Committee made up principally of a
Chair, an Events Organiser and a Treasurer, who are elected al the AGM. There are also
teams of parents who take on specific tasks and responsibilities. such as events
organisation and Class Representatives.

LADY MARGARET SCHOOL PTA
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report on the accounts of the Trust Fund for the year ended 31. De￿mber 2024, which are
attached.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees consider Ihat an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2)
of the Charities Act 1993 (the AGI), as amended by s.28 of the Charit16s Act 2006) and that
an independ6nt examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act, as amended),
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commission (under section 43(71(bl of the Act, as amended), and
to slate whether particular malters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the
charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations
from the trustees Goncerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide
all Ihe evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an
audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come lo my atlenlion..
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the
requirements
lo keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act., and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements ofthe Acl have not been met., or
{2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understanding of the accounts to be reached.
