POWNALL HALL SCHOOL PARENT STAFF ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024
Pownall Hall School PSA is a registered charity and was registered on 13th May 2021. On registration, the first financial reporting period was set up as 1st September 2021 to 31st August 2022. This is our third annual report to the Charity Commission.
Pownall Hall School PSA is a voluntary group of parents who strive to help raise essential funds for our school, whilst making memories for our children.
CHARITABLE OBJECTS
The charity’s objects (as set out in its constitution) are to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by:
-
developing effective relationships between the staff, parents & others
-
associated with the school
-
Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the
-
school and advance the education of the pupils.
To achieve these objects our activities include:
- raising funds to help the school provide extra resources for the
children
- running social events for children, parents and staff
We are grateful for the many hours of support our volunteer parents give to support the PSA. Without this valuable contribution of time, energy & expertise we would not have been able to achieve so much.

SUMMARY OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT IN RELATION TO THESE OBJECTS
In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.
It was agreed at our half-termly meetings that we would fundraise for a variety of equipment for the school, including 5 main goals in 2023-2024, some of which were carried over from 2022-2023:
Forest School Equipment Theatre Lighting Playground Equipment Dry Robes for school sports fixtures
Technology to be used in Art and DT
All of which are facilities or equipment to advance the education of the pupils. There was also an agreement to help fund the refurbishment of Pavillion and Sports Hall Changing Rooms although project viability and what funds might be needed are still to be confirmed by the school.
In addition to these, every year the PSA fundraises to provide:
Staff leaving gifts Social events for children, parents and staff Easter eggs/books for the Children Teddy Bears for all Reception children Playtime Games and Equipment Year 6 Leavers Books and Hoodies
All of which help to develop effective relationships between staff and parents and/or support the school.
