|Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|Advance the education of the pupils at Judith
Kerr Primary School (“JKPS”), in particular by:
- Developing effective relationships between
the staff, parents and others associated with
the school
- Engaging in activities or providing facilities or
equipment which support the school and

activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.|Para 1.17 and
1.19|The focus of our activities remains the
enhancement of facilities for JKPS pupils
through fundraising activities to enrich the
children’s learning experience.
We cover the full age range of the school and
look to have an even spend on year groups
where possible. Most items cover the whole
school and therefore all children can benefit
from the contributions.
We hold a mixture of events for children and
parents throughout the year. These are a
combination of social and fundraising
activities.
We aim to provide additional facilities that are
not included within the school budget which
will enrich the children’s learning experience,
as well as organise social events for children
and their families.|

## **Achievements and Performance**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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|Our biggest fundraising event, the Herne Hill
Oktoberfest, was held in September. As always,
it was well received by parents and carers,
children and staff, as well as the wider Herne
Hill community.
In November, we organised the St Martin's
celebration for the school community, a
German, Christian tradition to walk and sing
with lanterns in the evening.
In December, we held the Winter Fair, held a
wreath-making workshop and sold Christmas
Trees.
In the summer term, the charity held a
Summer Picnic to get all families of the school
community together and supported the
‘Masked Teacher’ fundraiser. The charity also
supported Sports Day and the JKPS Fun Day at
the end of the school year.
Throughout the year we held successful
preloved uniform sales and a cake sale.|
The charity has been generously supported by donations from the local and school communities, including local businesses. Our focus in the 2023-2024 school year, which included a period of change in school leadership, was to continue and build on community activities and fundraising efforts. As a result of the school community’s efforts, the level of funds held by FoJKPS and available for funding future school projects increased during the 2023-2024 school year by £38,361, to £76,303 at 31 July 2024. We were able to raise £70,999 gross (£46,236 net of payments relating to FoJKPS activities and overheads) and give £7,875 to the school. The money spent for the school was for the following items: - £1,844 – Outside space improvement - £732 – School supplies - £699 – Staff appreciation - £678 – JKPS football kit - £629 – Sports Day - £568 – Library books - £417 – JKPS Fun Day - £395 – Safe commuting - £1,913 – Year 6 leavers The charity paid for improvements to the children’s outdoor area, including new basketball hoops, outdoor plants and garden screening, paint and other garden equipment. The charity continued to provide funding to facilitate the school’s Sports Day and JKPS Fun Day, and also provided new books for the library, school team football kit and contributed towards safe commuting efforts, including the large banners for the school gate and a parking buddy. We also exceptionally provided funds towards supporting staff morale/appreciation and for school supplies to cover a funding shortfall. Fundraising activities by Year 6 for end-of-year activities and year books are partly facilitated through events organised by FoJKPS, and Year 6 spending through the charity is fully funded by those Year 6 activities. Our direct school spending is determined through consultation with the school’s senior leadership team. £38,361 raised in the school year (net) was set aside to fund future projects.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Friends of Judith Kerr Primary School.**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of Judith Kerr Primary School for the period ending 31st July 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 s. 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under s. 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
(1)Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
(2)The accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
