## **Annual Report The Northmead Supporters Team (NST) 2024-25** ## **Introduction:** The Northmead Supporters Team is the name for the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) for Northmead Junior School in Guildford, Surrey. The NST is a registered charity (Charity Number 1182401 registered in England and Wales). The NST committee adopted the constitution of Parentkind and have a bank account with the Metro Bank. This constitution guides practice and provides public liability insurance. Each year we have to elect trustees (Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Staff Member), which form the main committee. We have our own guidelines and risk assessments for our events and activities, all of which are held within the school grounds. **Our purposes:** To provide: - 1) Community: by developing and maintaining effective relationships between the children, staff, parents/guardians and others associated with the school, - 2) Resources: both financially and practically, to enable additional activities, facilities or equipment which support the school and enhance the learning opportunities of the pupils. ## **Members:** All parents (or guardians) of a child, and all Northmead Junior School Staff, are automatically members of the Northmead Supporters Team. This is explained on joining the school community. We hold our annual general meeting as part of our committee meeting in September. During this our financial and annual reports are shared, plus the trustee positions elected for a year’s term at a time. All members are invited. We hold termly committee meetings, again open to all members, to reflect on activities past, plan future events and purchases, discuss our income and expenditure, and ensure we are remaining true to our purposes above. There are additional meetings that the trustees hold with the school leadership team each year, plus sub‐committees that meet to organise individual events or projects. The committee also regularly liaises on a WhatsApp group to discuss issues that cannot wait for a formal meeting. ## **Communication:** This takes place in various forms as well as person to person: - Reminders via ParentMail/Bromcom - At meetings - Via Class Representatives (each class has a representative and WhatsApp group) - Through social media, currently our email address, and Facebook pages (year groups and NST) ## **Activities:** The NST is fortunate to have a small core of very committed parents and staff who regularly attend meetings, organise and help out at events. All are volunteers and the NST would not be successful without this level of support and dedication. We are also very well supported by the school’s administrative staff, who lighten the load considerably! We remain keen to incorporate the school Wellbeing Focus into our activities, and to ensure that all children can access our events regardless of circumstances/needs. Some of our events are run with the focus more on community building than raising money. Usually, each school term sees a large fundraising event; our Bonfire and Firework Fiesta, and school fairs. We also put on events such as Film Nights, Tuckshops, Second‐hand Uniform Sales, Sponsored Events, Raffles, Clothing Recycling, and provide refreshments on various occasions. The year to August 2025 was an incredibly successful year for the NST, and we have generated an overall profit for the year and provided a full schedule of events and contributions to the school. As well as organising the above events, the NST has ongoing regular financial commitments to the school that are funded by the money raised: - Termly Extra‐curricular Days i.e. Fantastic Friday; - Workshops for each school year group; - Enrichment Week (in the Summer term for the whole school); - Christmas present (a book and cracker) for each child; - Animal upkeep; - School grounds clear up. ## **Funding:** The NST’s activities have generated £14,143.97 in funds for the school this year. Full details of our income, expenditure and profit can be found in the Treasurer’s Report. Requests are made by staff, children and parents for funding for activities and resources. We actively seek and encourage ideas through our newsletters, questionnaires (to children, parents and staff), ‘Wishlists’, and during committee meetings. Members are reminded regularly how to get in touch with us. We have been able to make the following donatons and purchases this year (in additon to running the events and actvites): - Donation towards the purchase of iPads for all year groups - New parasols for the school patio - Art supplies Our challenges ahead: - To continue to recognise and navigate cost of living challenges - To continue to fulfil our purposes and be creative in doing so. - To recruit volunteers to help e.g. to prepare and plan events, research resources, set up, run and pack down for events, take on trustee roles. This is an ongoing and continuous task. - To balance the communication needs of parents – those who want more and those who want less! - To be as sustainable in practice as possible e.g. reducing the use of single use plastic, minimising waste, ensuring waste from our events is sorted and recycled where possible. - To make the process of requesting funding from the NST as simple as possible for both the school and our treasurers. - To have fun, make new friends, and enjoy seeing the childrens’ smiles while doing all the above! ## **Contact details:** Northmead Supporters Team Registered Charity in England and Wales Number 1182401 c/o Northmead Junior School, Grange Road, Guildford GU2 9ZA Telephone: 01483 529870 (School office) Email: northmead.NST@gmail.com Facebook: Northmead Supporters Team Prepared by Graham Wadie, Trustee (Treasurer), September 2025 **Treasurers Report For the year ended 31 August 2025** Prepared by: Graham Wadie Trustee (Treasurer) September 2025 1 | P a g e ## **CONTENTS** ||PAGE NUMBER| |---|---| |Legal and administratve informaton|3| |Accountngand reservespolicies|4| |Receipts andpayments account|5| |Eventproft comparison|6| |Costs and donatons|7| |Statement of assets and liabilites|8| |Commitments|9| 2 | P a g e ## **Legal and administrative information** Charity Name: Northmead Supporters Team (NST) Charity Number: 1182401 (registered in England and Wales) Charity Address: c/o Northmead Junior School Grange Road Guildford Surrey GU2 9ZA Governing Document: Parentkind Model Constitution dated 13 September 2018 Trustees: Chair - Catherine Morton Treasurer - Graham Wadie Secretary - Rebecca Lock Committee member - Denise Lewis - Committee member Elisa Stephens Bank: Metro Bank Independent Examiner: To be appointed Objectives: The object of the association is to advance the education of pupils at Northmead Junior School, in particular by: - 1) Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school, and; - 2) Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils 3 | P a g e ## **Accounting and reserves policies** Basis of accounting: The treasurers report has been prepared in accordance with section 133 of the Charities Act 2011, by using receipts and payments accounting. Reserves: The charity seeks to support Northmead Junior School by providing financial and other assistance to those projects agreed by the Trustees (and in consultation with the schools Head), whilst at all times maintaining positive reserves. The level of reserves remaining at the end of any given financial year should cover as a minimum, all expected activities run by the school (marked with * in the “Commitments” section), any restricted funds for long term projects and amounts held as a cashflow buffer.

The trustees note that the charity generates significant income during the autumn term, most notably from the annual bonfire and Christmas production, and has the ability to reduce certain committed spend should those events not be as successful as previous years to ensure continued financial stability.
