Objectives
The objectives of the organisation are to advance the education of pupils in the school in particular by: Developing effective relationships between staff, parents and others associated with the school
Engaging in activities or providing facilities or equipment which support the school and advance the education of the pupils.
Additional Information
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no financial benefits.
We work closely with the teaching staff of Askam Village school as our charity is designed to benefits pupils of this school. Last year we became a registered charity specifically because the headteacher of the school, Fiona Newton, worked with Orcina who were providing funding for local schools. This money could only be donated to a registered charity. The PTA previously did not raise enough money to be a registered charity and still do not, without the funding from ORCINA.

The money raised from these activities has been used to help fund an Activall for pupils, new computers, art and DT resources, the licence fee for the school musical production as well as school discos for the all the pupils to socialise and have fun.
Future fundraising goals
In every meeting we hold the head teacher, Fiona Newton, attends. We always ask if there is anything that the school request from us.
We are looking to fund new jumpers for pupils who receive pupil of the week.
More ORCINA funding is expected this year which the school applies for and uses to fund trips and other opportunities for the pupils.
Financial review:
Without the ORCINA funding, £4644.91 was earned through fundraising. £3740.08 has been used to fund resources and activities for the pupils of the school.
£4959.14 was the closing balance to be carried over to the next school year. We keep money in the account to help us with funding for activities as well as have the money for any larger items the school might need us to help fund.
The reason we became a registered charity has been the funding from ORCINA. This money has been a huge benefit to the school. There was a total of £57,300 donated this year, with £11900 left from the previous year. It has been transferred to the school for them to use in the way it was intended. The spending of this money has nothing to do with the PTA.
Stepping down from the committee:
The following trustees are stepping down from the committee this year, however they still plan to volunteer and be involved in PTA events.
Tania Huddleston, Heather Teeley and Kelly Alexander.
