POWNALL HALL SCHOOL PARENT STAFF ASSOCIATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2025
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 fourth 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 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 2 main goals in 2024-2025, and some smaller projects which were carried over from 2023-2024.
The two main goals were fundraising towards donations towards a new library for the school and new technology equipment, such as a 3D printer and Lego Robotics kits for the children to use in IT, Art and Design Technology lessons.
The smaller items included forest school equipment, dry robes for sports teams, new cricket kit for the school teams and playground equipment. These represent facilities or equipment which advance the education of the pupils.
There was also a continued agreement to explore fundraising towards the refurbishment of Pavillion and Sports Hall Changing Rooms although project viability and what funds might be needed were not finalized by the school before the end of this financial year.
Each year, the PSA also raises funds to provide:
Staff leaving gifts Social events for children, parents and staff Easter eggs/books for the Children Teddy Bears for all Reception children Year 6 Leavers Books and Hoodies
All of which help to develop effective relationships between staff and parents and/or support the school.

ANNUAL SUMMARY
2024/2025 has been a very successful year thanks to the hard work and efforts of the parents and staff of Pownall Hall School.
All the events organized by the PSA have contributed to developing the relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school and to supporting the school and advancing the education of the pupils.
The Summer Ball was by far the largest fundraising event in line with previous years, and these funds will be utilized in the year 2025/2026.
Other events and activities included:
-
Second hand uniform shop, we collect secondhand uniform & sell it to parents enabling them to buy discounted uniform & help reduce waste.
-
Light up the sky (a bonfire night celebration), comedy night, Halloween disco, school fairs & half-termly ‘tuck shop’, bringing together the school community, family & friends. New this year was the ‘Pownall Fest’, a summer fair celebration event for pupils, parents, staff and their families.
-
We also fundraise through clothes recycling ‘bags to school’ and ‘easy fundraising’, ink bin recycling, tuck shops and bake sales.
