Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

During this year, we have held some fantastic events. A major portion of the money raised (£12.5k) was paid over to the school to support the provision of the IT suite, with a further £10.9k donated to fund an upgrade of the Hall AV equipment, plus other smaller amounts (£0.5k each) for an ongoing Road safety campaign and Christmas hampers for deserving families.

This year was far from normal, due to the Covid pandemic taking off from March 2020, but we managed to hold a brand-new community Scarecrow festival event during October HT, which raised a phenomenal £6k through generous donations. We also ran a Christmas online Auction, which was very successful and raised a further £4.7k and managed to hold a couple of our usual events (Quiz and Comedy night) before the lockdown, plus some of our other normal fundraisers were able to continue, such as the Lottery, Happy School Bag clothing collection, 1 Cake Sale, Uniform sales and Christmas cards. Other new events to note were an ‘early’ Easter event (pre lockdown), plus online Wine and Beer tasting during the Autumn term, and sale of Christmas baubles. Funds were also considerably boosted through a very generous company donation £4.9k (via a parent) and a couple of small payroll giving donations.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/ Friends of Burford School members of

On accounts for the year Charity no ended 31[st] January 2021 (if any) 1154863

Set out on pages 1 to 3

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
