1. Overview
The PTA operates according to the constitution adopted on 16 March 2016. Annual General Meetings (AGM’s) must be held each calendar year and within 15 months of the previous AGM.
At the AGM the accounts and report of the committee members for the previous financial year are received, new committee members are elected and an independent examiner for the financial statements is appointed.
Committee members are elected at the AGM and hold office until the next AGM. Nominations for the committee may be made by any member of the PTA and seconded by another and are to be made in writing to the Chair. A minimum of three PTA meetings are to be held each academic year. All parents, guardians or carers of any pupil currently attending the school; and the teaching and non-teaching staff currently employed by the school are members of the PTA.
2. Activities and Achievements
During the year, the PTA organized the following major events and initiatives:
-
Anniversary Ball: Our stand-out event for the year, raising a huge £70,230 which allowed us to increase our donations to charity over seven-fold on last year.
-
Christmas fair: A perennially popular event that raised £2,955
-
Summer Fête: Our second largest fundraiser this year, generating £4,954.
-
Uniform Sales: Ongoing second-hand uniform sales brought in £5,118.
-
Film nights: raising £1,179 while the children enjoyed popcorn and some favourite films.
-
Tea towels: great mementos that also raised £1,512.
In total, we were able to donate £79,000 to charity this year.

4. Plans for the Year Ahead (2024–2025)
Looking ahead, the PTA is facing challenges due to reduced space within the school caused by major building works. As a result, offsite storage costs have increased, and some events may need to be scaled down. Despite these constraints, we remain committed to hosting the events that foster a strong sense of community within the school.
5. Acknowledgements
We thank all parents, staff, and volunteers who contributed time, effort, and generosity throughout the year. Special thanks go to the PTA Committee, class reps, and the Headteacher for their ongoing collaboration and support.

The charity does not have any material debtors therefore it does not have any material credit risk. The charity only holds cash and cash equivalents in a bank current account in a high street UK bank, the amounts held are below the threshold for the Financial Services Scheme, it holds no other investments and so it does not have a material market risk. The charity does not have any material financial commitments, no commitments are entered into unless sufficient cash has been raised to cover them. Therefore exposure to liquidity risk is minimal.
As a result of the immaterial exposure to credit risk there have been no fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities recorded in the SOFA.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/08/2024 .
Responsibilities and basis of report
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”).

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.
